Very nice. If iwconfig shows essid that means WEP is on... You didn't mention what made it work... executable permissions on inet1.conf or removing 0x from Key? Just curious. If this is a laptop I am guessing that you won't be needing this configuration all the time, and having this configuration at the startup will make startup a little more time consuming, particularly when you don't need it. I usually have a script something like this : /sbin/wifi: ############################### #!/bin/sh /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 sleep 1 /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 essid xxxxx sleep 1 /sbin/iwconfig wlan0 key xxxxxxx sleep 1 dhclient wlan0 ############################### When I login from home and need wifi, I do sudo /sbin/wifi -- ________________________________________ -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/>M d- s++:+ a- C++(++++) ULBS++++$ P+++>$ L+++$ E+ W++ N++ O!
