no acces point in range at home so there is no link, but at work i need to choose which access-point i want to use, how do i do that ?
</edit> |
I have never done anything with slecting access-points. All the networks that I have connected to had no encryption and my card just picked up the network and work. I know this is not much help but that is what I have done in the past. |

Hi again.
As I said, I got my USB Wlan card working.
My next mission was to set it up with the encryptian key, right essid and Access point.
iwconfig made this pretty simple.
A little script :
| Code: |
iwconfig wlan0 key restricted XFD2381XXX
iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
iwconfig wlan0 essid "intraHouse"
cp /etc/init.d/net.eth0 /etc/init.d/net.wlan0
echo iface_wlan0="dhcp" >> /etc/conf.d/net
|
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start to get IP.
My iwconfig output :
[laptop!!#] iwconfig [~]
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"intraHouse"
Mode:Managed Channel:11 Access Point: 00:06:25:C6:07:77
Bit Rate:11Mb/s
RTS thr=1536 B Fragment thr=1536 B
Encryption key:XFD2-381X-XX Security mode:restricted
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:37 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
