Microsfot MN-730 with ndiswrapper 1.1
This is my first time using wlan with linux. First off I tried doing
iwconfig wlan0 essid vegeta
dhcpcd wlan0
If I do this does it mean my card is working?
# iwlist wlan0 scanning
wlan0 Scan completed :

That shows you that your card found your accesspoint, but is not necessoriarly associated with it. If ifconfig shows you that your wireless card has a ip address then yes it worked.
| Code: | wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:5A:4D:43:13
inet addr:10.10.0.10 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0

Something like that should show up. Then just try to ping something like google.com

First off just making sure that this was a typo: | Quote: | | #iwconfig wlan0 essed Vegeta |
and that you really typed "essid". Also when you specify a ap you need to use quotes (dont know if you did that)
| Code: | | #iwconfig eth2 essid "Whatever" |
After you do that do a straight iwconfig and see what it shows:
It should underneath alot of other intro give you a line that says Signal Strength. It will vary second by second so rerun iwconfig like 3 or 4 times and see what that line says. This will tell you wether you are connected or not.
<--edit=got onto my laptop to show you-->
| Code: | #iwconfig eth0
eth0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"deathtoall"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: 00:41:80:19:FF:17
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm

Power Management:off
Link Quality=85/100 Signal level=-45 dBm Noise level=-81 dBm

Thats strange, though it may be normal for a ndiswrapper card, IDK I use a cisco aironet card. Anyway, glad you got it working.
