Hello all. After struggling for a couple days I figured I should just ask for help...I installed Vector Linux and cannot seem to get my wireless card with broadcom chipset up. I know its recognized. I know its supported. I was messing around in VASM and even got it to connect once. But I can't seem to do it again. And I want to use wifi-connect or make a script. Im new to Xfce, it seems so foreign from KDE...help?

What kind of setup you have - are you using WEP or WPA encryption (and what kind of WPA, if any?), are you sure the wifi card is powered up (some laptops, for example, have a button to press that powers on and off the wifi functionality)? Which driver are you using, a native one or perhaps NDISwrapper or something else? Works best with a native driver I think..

This should show a list of available access points, if any (and if they broadcast their ESSID). If your wireless device is not eth1, change it accordingly (it can also be wlan0 for example).

Use this to connect to one of the access points you found above, or one whose ESSID you know. More:

I found some help though the vector linux forum how to's. basically:
iwconfig eth1 up
iwlist eth1 scan
iwconfig eth1 essid "Anna"
iwconfig eth1 mode Managed
iwconfig eth1 channel X
iwconfig eth1 ap any
dhcpcd -t 25 -d eth1

Thank you
