-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Distro agnostic version: I keep scripts for all of the wireless networks that I regularly connect to. The scripts are portable across distros assuming your wireless device uses the stock utilities:
A simple one might look like this: #!/bin/sh iwconfig ath0 essid mynetwork enc abcdef0123 dhclient ath0 exit 0 Of course replace the interface, key and essid fields to match your network. This example is using a 64 bit WEP key. Of course your card needs to be detected and installed (an iwconfig without arguments will tell you this). WPA uses another layer that I personally don't use, you may wish to check out the WPA supplicant. The previous example is from my eeepc which is nice and peppy under XUbuntu.
