Anyone knows where to find the fw-detect command ? (for firmware/wireless detect)


Hello,

Sidux offers CENI
http://manual.sidux.com/en/internet-...#netcardconfig
http://manual.sidux.com/en/internet-....htm#wpa-basic

they mentioned :
Quote:
To find the appropriate firmware without knowing the make or brand of your wireless chip, you can use the command:

#fw-detect
But apparently debian package do not offer this useful tool, well, certainly for sidux exclusively.

Is there a package of fw-detect eventually?

Cheers

After digging, I found this :
http://sidux.net/bfree/firmware/

Have you try it already ? Could it be for testing or stable on day? you like this tool? ... I think that it might help ubuntu community.

It is actually suprisingly that ceni and this package aren't in Debain. especially since slh is already a Debian dev.

- I note that ceni has a problem
if you enter with middle clikc mouse the wpa or wep it is limited in chars
give a try


- have you tried fw-detect? is it working well?
