HI there, I have had more success now. I got the modules working. When I do 'iwconfig' it shows me all of the nterfaces that I have on my system, and which ones have wireless capabilities. Now I did iwconfig eth1 mode managed key abcdefghi essid myaccesspoint It connects to the access point, but, I get no internet. It does not get any ip data from my router's dhcp. Any ideas? Thanks, and take care. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Janina Sajka Sent: Friday, July 27, 2007 12:36 PM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Re: Wireless internet Actually, unless it works differently on other distros for some reason, a simple iwconfig should gen a report for each network device. For instance, on my laptop I get: #iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. irda0 no wireless extensions. eth1 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"xxxxxxx" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm Sensitivity=8/0 Retry limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality=89/100 Signal level=-26 dBm Noise level=-84 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:6690214 Missed beacon:10 eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions.
