network configuration wizard


I would like to know how can i run the network configuration wizard used by the debian install cd. I have recently installed the modules for a wireless network card and would like to use the wizard to get the basic configuration done. How can i run this? I guess it's with dpkg-reconfigure *. Thanks.

Install the etherconf package, that should hook you up with what you're looking for.

The thing is that the computer is currently hooked up to the internet via a cable through eth0. I want to run a wizard to switch it to it's acx111 wireless card. If i disconnect the cable will it automatically configure the wireless card (after a reboot of course) with etherconf? If so, then i'll just install it, unplug and reboot, but i was thinking that the netinstall dhcp configuration wizard would do the trick, that is of course if i can find out how to run it. dkpg-reconfigure base gives you alot of other options, but doesn't give the dhcp configuration wizard, which is the only thing i'm looking for, you tell me what i should do, thx :P.
