How to invoke wireless without root password

casualzone · 04-03-2010, 12:23 AM

Whenever I got to type the command below:

#iwconfig eth1 essid mynetwork key xxxxxxxx
#dhclient eth1

to use this command, i have to be in su or sudo.
Is there a way I could allow all users to invoke these commands without the root password??

I try to make a file (wireless.sh), which consists the commands above, in /usr/local/bin/. Change the mode to 755 (chmod 755 wireless.sh)
however, it does not allow me to use this also.

I don't know the answer, but I'll guess: you have to add your user to the 'network' group. To do this, run the command 'gspasswd -a username network'.
