I just installed Debian on a tablet. I can't connect via ethernet, to setup wireless. I got to the point where wireless driver is loaded and stuff and I can do
wlist eth1 scan
And it returns a bunch of networks including the one I'm interested in connecting.

Quote:
iwconfig ath0 essid (network code) key (WEP key, only needed if it's WEP encrypted)
Now startup the connection with
Code:
dhcpcd ath0
If it says that the server is timed or the connection isn't working type 'dhcpcd ath0 -kill' and then retype 'dhcpcd ath0' until it works. To double check the connection, you can ping some website that's always up like google:

I have no dhcpcd! Also no NetworkManager icon. And I can't do apt-get networkmanager since I don't have ethernet; only wireless.
I got debian CD1 on a usb, and installed debian that way if it helps. How can I go online? I just want to go online once to download like network manager and other tools I'm used to.
Thank you
