mail me your ps3, i'll figure it out! (note: your ps3 will not be returned, however i will email you step by step instructions of what i did)

seriously though, it depends. does YDL have these commands?

Quote:

iwconfig -v
iwlist
ifconfig
wpa_supplicant -v

you can try typing them.

tried both...nothing

its probaly coz YD hasent made code for it yet (they are gonna develop it)

is there anything else i can do?

go to settings .. network

this opens gnomes network config

you will see that eth0 wireless is set active

click wireless tab
put in ssid

i manually setup ip address but you can use dhcp if u wish

open a terminal and su to root (if your not already) and type ifconfig
you should see your ip address

done from memory as ps3 isn't turn on right now

all the best
