Hi all,
1. i just installed Ubuntu on an old hand-me-down laptop, and was trying to get
the WiFi to work. i have two wireless adapters: a Linksys (can't remember model
offhand) which i used ndiswrapper to install its driver, and a Cisco Aironet
350, which is reported to work natively. Anyway, i think the wireless cards
work, 'cos when i brought the laptop down to Starbucks, they (i tried both)
could detect the [EMAIL PROTECTED] network, among many others (using Network
Manager
here). However, even after selecting the network ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), it
doesn't seem
to be assigned an IP address (according to ifconfig). Trying to access the web
using Firefox also gave me a connection error instead of being directed to the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] login page. It seems like i have probably missed a step or
two in
the process, but what is it?
2. Now, i would like to switch between using the laptop at home wirelessly
(currently it's wired) and in public (through [EMAIL PROTECTED]) just by
selecting
the appropriate network via Network Manager. The difficulty is that my home
network is set to NOT broadcast SSID, and also to use WPA, which means i would
have to make use of the WPA supplicant, which means having to modify the
wpa-supplicant config file whenever i want to switch networks. Is there any way
around this?
Thanks in Advance and Regards,
Edwin
