Hi group,
I'm trying to connect at the library to their wifi(Open network, no key
required), but it's not working so I moved to one of their own machines to send
this.
Here's the steps I took:
cat /proc/net/wireless gives me the interface wlan0
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scan reveals the network name, the chan.
iwconfig wlan0 essid "Network Name"
iwconfig wlan0 chan 1
ping somebody.com gets unknown host.
dmesg:
...
wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:1e:58:fb:8c:b1
wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:1e:58:fb:8c:b1
wlan0: authenticated
wlan0: associate with AP 00:1e:58:fb:8c:b1
wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:1e:58:fb:8c:b1
wlan0: associated
I know the system is working because I see others here working with their
Windows laptops.
Maxim
