Are you planning on using static or dynamic addresses? If dynamic, you need to issue a dhclient command. When I on't use NetworkManager, mine is automatic based on the information in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth1, but I think 'dhclient -d eth1' should be sufficient. Once this is working, you should change your encryption key. It isn't quite all that is needed to hack your computer, but it is enough to listen to your wireless transmissions. I strongly recommend switching to WPA-PSK. If your PSK secret is longer than 20 characters and not found in a dictionary, it is essentially uncrackable. Your 64-bit WEP encryption can be cracked in as little as 1 minute. Larry
I'm planning on dhcp. But 'dhclient -d eth1' gives: Listening on LPF/eth1/00:14:a5:d0:1c:7a Sending on LPF/eth1/00:14:a5:d0:1c:7a Sending on Socket/fallback/fallback-net DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 receive_packet failed on eth1: Network is down DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 19 DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 15 DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11 No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database. Sleeping. and then hangs. I noticed at one point that ifconfig was telling me "frank" but the network dialog didn't update, it still showed another ap I tried. I don't understand how the two interact, but I do know that just using the dialog doesn't seem to do it. Damn those Broadcom people. And damn me for not checking before I bought. -Chuckk -- http://www.badmuthahubbard.com
