Dear Michael,
Yes, do a scan. When you see your network you will need to press
enter and go through the steps required to use a connection
configuration on your BrailleNote. You must have the wireless
card in your BrailleNote to do this. When you get to the field
use wep? it is set to no. You said you had wep so change it to
yes. Then enter your wep key. All of the other settings should
be right.
From,
Bobby

Subject: [Braillenote] usb network sticks and the braillenote
Are USB network sticks supported on the Braillenote as well as
wireless cards?
I ask as I think my Ralink which was my first wireless device
stopped
flashing on my laptop so it may have developed a fault which
stopped
me from accessing wireless connections. I was told by someone
who is
fully Sighted that the card was faulty because it didn't light up
so I
replaced it with a wireless USB stick only recently.
Wireless network sticks don't appear to be mentioned in the
Braillenote User Guide.
Also looking at the wireless chapter for the BN, could I possibly
obtain any of my home wireless router settings through a wireless
scan?
I ask this because I know the Wep key, it is this SSID and a few
of
the middle and end settings which it states you need to get from
your
administrator although I do know things like my BT User name,
password, email address and Pop information I am not clear about
stuff
like the server stuff and stuff like for exmaple tls as there
seem to
be extra options on the Braillenote which seem a bit unclear
looking
at creating a new configuration As far as I am aware some of
these
settings didn't appear to be mentioned when I tried setting up my
connection to BT using the CD.
There was a bit of a debate between dad and myself as to whether
I
actually needed the BT software that came with the Router they
sent
out with dad insisting I needed to go through the software that
came
with the Router on every machine I used in order to make it set
up for
wireless which seems a bit odd and when my card was working on my
laptop, running a CD wasn't the way I got established when
running
Ubuntu when connecting to the wireless provider at Vox Bar in
Huddersfield which is my nearest Linux support group.
I think in fact the software installation is causing me a few
problems
because with the wired connection on my desktop I keep getting an
error message about not being able to find such and such a file
and it
keeps asking me for my Broadband talk user information and
passwords
which although I have got I don't have that part of the software
set
up as dad couldn't find my Broadband Talk phone which my sister
might
have moved some place when she tried to set things up for me so
dad
couldn't find it so I keep having to press enter when the error
comes
up and ALT F4 to close the Broadband Talk dialogue after I loggin
to
Windows which isn't a problem with Ubuntu or windows as such as
it
doesn't appear to prevent me from connecting via the Ethanet port
on
the desktop so I do have a connection of sorts which is the wired
connection which I am managing until I decide to migrate my
desktop PC
to Linux and also get the wireless stuff sorted out on whatever
device
I connect wireless ie my Laptop or my BN.
