Sorry about the last e-mail; I seem to have pressed a wrong button before I completed it. I am almost to the point where it will work, but I need just a tad. According to the start_net script that came with the driver, I don't have iwconfig. I would like to know how I would get iwconfig. I have wireless internet set up in my kernel and I have the prism driver.
How would I install iwconfig? Using Debian with kernel 2.6.8 (built last night).
