Ok, that looks pretty useful - they seem to be intended for a static network like the one I described, right? No detection of available nodes, just a network identifier (SSID?) configured into the scripts with a static IP? Basically just like setting up a wired ethernet connection? Looks like what I need. What about some of my other questions - software, security, etc? The script you've given me refers to the iwconfig command, which I gather comes from the wireless_tools package - is any other software required? And for security, I'm guessing I can configure WEP by setting the SECURITY_MODE and KEY# values in the scripts (would the values for those come from the access point?). Do you know about using WPA (since that seems superior to WEP), or is that something I'll have to work out for myself? Thanks for your help. Simon.
