I have no idea about wep_supplicant as I have never used it. I have experience with very few cards, and my iwconfig experience comes from not wanting to mess around with difficult (read: Debian's) interfaces file. # modprobe ipw2200 # iwconfing eth1 essid $SSID # iwconfig eth1 key $KEY # dhclient eth1 # iwconfig eth1 essid any # iwconfig eth1 key off (or none, I forget which.) # dhclient eth1 You may need to replace eth1 with wlan0 or the like. With my USB wifi adapter, I run an ``ifup wlan0'' and that starts the NDIS wrapper magic, so I could probably skip the modprobe part if I completely wanted to avoid relying upon any ifupdown magick. There is a lot more to iwconfig, but I find I only need to set the essid and key for the three networks (home, work, and coffee shop) networks I am on. I keep interfaces(5) set for home, as that is the one with the key and non-any ESSID. -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
