Bring up and bring don wifi
Hi,
I have few queries in linux wrt wifi network: 1.Where do I find the wireless configuration file in linux machine i,e details of my prefered wifi access point.(File which has ESSID,password,MAC address) 2.When i disable the connections on my machine and when I enable the wirelss connectivity , the machine should not connect to the prefered access point instead of that I should be able to connect to AP from the list of Access points. 3.are there any linux commands to stop and start wifi interface Thanks in advance |

'ifconfig' by it self will list all configured interfaces, and give you the names of each interface. ( all commands without quotes ). |

Here when I do ifconfig wlan0 up ..my laptop is directly connecting to the default AP (Which is in my preferd list). I do not want this to happen. When I do "ifconfig wlan0 up" ..My machine should not connect to default or prefered AP. Instead of that I should be able to choose to which AP i want to connect. Thank you |
What network manager are you using? What distro?
If you were using WICD, there is a check box that controls the 'default' connection. You can set it for no default, it will not connect. Then you can choose the AP you want. I do not know if Network Manager can do the same thing. |
