H:Problem in IPW2200 connect to WEP network
Hi all, I've recently move to slackware12 after a year trying Ubuntu...Itz quiet fascinating me =p. Well, I've problem with the wireless.
In my case I'm using Laptop which is using Intel Proset 2200, and the problem mainly because I can't connect to an access point which is using WEP encryption. I've copied the firmware for IPW2200 to /lib/firmware, and the wireless works like a charm when connecting to non WEP Access Point but the problem occurs when trying to connect to a network with WEP. Is there any suggestion for tools and method I should use? I'm using KDE and tried some configuration in "Control Center" but it makes me confuse more...and when I tried to fill out the ESSID and Key in Proxy Setting for my wireless it ended in "not responding state" and the configuration can not be saved. Best Regard, Erick |
I don't know anything about the configuration via the KDE control center but I use the default scripts provided with slackware.
You could edit the file /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless.conf and change the settings to reflect your configuration. Code:
*) Code:
# Config information for eth1: PS: I think you should consider using another method than WEP to secure your wifi connection. I takes less than one minute to break the key... Try using WPA or WPA2. |
I just use a script to connect to the network. I have a separate script for every network I wish to connect to.
This is one of them Code:
#!/bin/sh |
hmm...interesting ^^ well...it wasn't my network anyway =p, I steal it from my neighbor :p ...
@etienne: after I configure it how should I connect the wireless? is it auto detect or else? @jahne: before I write this thread I try PHP Code:
thx guys I'll try it soon |

/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 eth1_start Using this script will also bring the interface up automatically when you boot (if /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 and /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless are "executable" of course). |
thx etienne ^^ your solution just simply works...even it doesn't success at first try for unknown reason...thx folks
