*First we have nm-tool (I x'd out the HW addresses)*:
- Device: eth1 ------------------------------
----------------------------------
Type: 802.11 WiFi
Driver: ipw2200
State: unavailable
Default: no
HW Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Capabilities:
Supported: yes
Wireless Settings
WEP Encryption: yes
WPA Encryption: yes
WPA2 Encryption: yes
Wireless Access Points
- Device: wlan0
----------------------------------------------------------------
Type: 802.11 WiFi
Driver: b43
State: unavailable
Default: no
HW Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Capabilities:
Supported: yes
Wireless Settings
WEP Encryption: yes
WPA Encryption: yes
WPA2 Encryption: yes
Wireless Access Points
*Then there's the output for the second command*:
method return sender=:1.5 -> dest=:1.81 reply_serial=2
variant boolean false
*
If it helps, I get this when I type "ifconfig", where the x'd out HWaddr
numbers are the same (I don't know if you're supposed to have a repeat with
lots of 0's!):*
