Multiple networks
Ok newbie question here. I am running Mandrake 10 and am running into a simple problem which is messing with my head. I have my wireless up and running at my home, SMC prism card, but when I go to the local coffee shop and try to access there it refuses to set up. Everything is set for dhcp and no encryption since I use mac filtering at home. Any ideas? According to the guys at the coffee house it is wide open but they don't know much about linux so they haven't run int this before
Thanks |
i have had the same proplem. at home i issue the following comands and i am up and running:
Code:
sudo iwconfig eth0 essid camphor; Code:
sudo ifconfig eth0 down Code:
sudo iwconfig eth0 essid any; so the i issued Code:
sudo ifconfig eth0 up; its frustrating seeing window$ machines being able to do something easier then my linux box....:( thanks for any help in advance |
I ended up solving the problem a month or so ago. I didn't get any replies and my searching through the internet didn't show much up either. I did find a driver linux-wlan that seemed as though it might be of help so i downloaded the code from:
http://www.linux-wlan.com/linux-wlan/ Once I compiled on my system and configured to basically accept any connections and I was off ( YMMV). I hope this helps you as well |
thanks for the link...i guess i should have mentioned that i dont have a prism card ...mine is a 2wire card that uses the orinoco drivers.....maybei should poke around to see if there are similar updated drivers for me as well....
