As far as I know wireless devices can be configured via the terminal.
That's actually what I love about Linux. On Windows, for the most
part, you are confined to a GUI. With Linux, however, most programs
are front-ends for terminal-based utilities. Someone please correct me if I am wrong because I'm still learning. :) If it is accessible, run: man iwconfig If your wireless device is supported by Ubuntu without any external drivers, you should be able to use iwconfig to connect it to a wireless network. Have a good weekend. mike coulombe wrote: Thanks, can you configura a wireless network from the terminal as well. I will be gone until sunday, but will play with this when I get back. Mike.

I have a USB wireless adapter; hwen I first installed it, it could see the wireless networks, but it would not connect. I later found that I needed to donwload/compile/install a different driver to get it up and running. To find out information regarding your wireless connection, you can use: iwconfig in a terminal window. To get a list of available wireless networks, you can use: iwlist scanning in a terminal window. Hope this helps. Take care. mike coulombe wrote: |
