The Debian version users network/interfaces to call the lwng utility (to set essid, key, etc...). The upstream reads some files in /etc/wlan/ I think. There is a detailed description of the keywords for the interfaces file in the package documentation. Does (using the interfaces file) solve the problem? -- Enrico Tassi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
