Can not configure wireless card
 

I have a Toshiba laptop and have installed a Gateway 802.11b wireless card. The machine identifies the card but I am unable to configure it. Any help would be appreciated.:Pengy:

Are you in windows, or in Linux? What distro if you're in linux? I'm really not that good with different distros of linux, but I know in Redhat/Fedora there is a network configuration tool in System Settings.

I'm in suse linux personal 9.1. I hope that helps.

hi,
it's great that the card is being recognized ...
you should get a package called "wireless-tools" - they should be called the same in suse. it's a set of utilities for your wireless interface.
the most important being "iwconfig", and 'iwlist" for me at least.

so, you will most likely be using the following tools(/commands) - "ifconfig" (to bring up/down the interface), "iwconfig" (to connect to a wireless AP and to set other parameters like wep-keys...), "iwlist" (to scan for AP's if your cards' driver supports scanning).

there is also a utility called "pump". you can try it if you want.

i'm not familiar with graphical tools for this, as i haven't used any - just the commands above, and a few more.
