You'll also need wireless tools which are linked off off the pcmcia-cs sourceforge page http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net. I must say that FreeBSD is much easier though, the card i have is supported with the default kernel from freebsd-4.4 and all the wep related functions are handled by ifconfig. I actually have a script that runs from pccardd that will detect which wireless network I'm on and set the WEP key, mode, channel etc. > >I am going through the wireless networking howto, and have read a couple >of product reviews, but am looking for personal experiences from anyone >who cares to share. > >Dave >- -- >Captain's Log, star date 21:34.5... >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- >Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) >Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org > >iD8DBQE72tqRA68l26XsZUYRArW/AJ9o8qB/UrwYh8av8oBVXIvWP4+6AACfeyuR >9PA7Pr6jIhqWmA3Gk5YoQkE= >=8D9E >-----END PGP SIGNATURE----- >_______________________________________________ >Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota >http://www.mn-linux.org >tclug-list at mn-linux.org >https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -- Ben Lutgens Sistina Software Inc Sysadmin MCSE: Must Consult Someone Experienced -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
