Wireless network setup
hi,
I am a linux newbie. I got a new wireless card (Adaptec Wireless PCI v2.5) and am trying to setup internet on my linux box(slackware 9.0). Can somebody guide me step by step for setting up the network! I tried "iwconfig" and set the essid and the wep key but iwconfig eth0 ap 00:02:xx:xx:xx:xx returns "invalid argument" Is there something that iam missing here. Any suggestions/advice is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance --ws PHP Code:

I got it to work after going through the mails in the forum.
This is what I did-- /sbin/modprobe hermes /sbin/modprobe orinoco_pci /sbin/modprobe orinoco ifconfig eth1 up (i have a realtek network card as eth0) iwconfig eth1 essid urnetessid iwconfig enc wepkey dhcpcd eth1 -thats all! If u r using rh or any other distros ..might want to try dhclient eth1 instead. Thanks --ws PHP Code:
