The thing is that I have to manually setup the wireless everytime.
Before doing the above iwconfig I did the following commands.
#iwlist eth1 scan|more
{ i then selected one of the wireless networks}
#iwconfig eth1 essid "noyoog"
#dhclient eth1
{ then only does my wireless work}
Do I have to do this everytime I want wireless to work.
There is also another problem with this.
The wireless I am using right now doesn't require any authentication, but when I use the wireless in my university, I have to log in. Will my running iwcongit and dhclient enable me to use my university wireless as well?
Also how do i boot so that Linux doesn't look for either eth0 or eth1 by default. Because When I boot in the normal mode I get the message where it looks for eth0, I press ctrl+c and then it looks for eth1, I again press ctrl +c, but this time it doesnt' work. And I cannot log into linux. The onlyway I can log in is by starting linux in recovery mode.
(also what does dhclient doooo???)
Thanks
