Hi Mikkel,
Looks like it's there.
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:F5:61:56:DC
inet6 addr: fe80::211:f5ff:fe61:56dc/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Memory:b0100000-b010ffff
Now I'm wondering if I'm suffering from serious brain cramp because my eth0 is
connected to the same router on a wired interface and the wireless modem is
trying to connect to the same router. Just a wild guess at this point.
Now if my sister's puppy would leave me alone long enough to figure this
out. :-)
ttfn
John
