all the faces means : off

The line I put in there:

iwconfig eth1 enc 123123123213

Was just for if you are actually running encryption, it was an example, you didn't need to actually use that... If your node is wide open the only lines of the 4 you will need are the first one to bring the device up and the last one to grab a dhcp lease.

finegan 04-23-2003 01:32 PM

the same exept
acsess point :00:30:65:05:3a:d3
link qaulity:52/92
signal level:-50 dbm
noise level:-146dbm

Okay, its registered the MAC address of the access point and its got a solid signal, now you have to deal with the ethernet aspect of device:

dhcpcd eth1

Will grab an address from a wireless router running a dhcp server, otherwise you have to add those settings by hand, most easily done by using the command:

netconfig

Although really this will do it to:

ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.23 up (the IP is a guess)
route add default gw 192.168.1.1 (the router's IP is a guess too, although this is so standard as to be called a "highly" educated guess.)

nameservers is the annoying part:

echo "nameserver 123.123.123.123" >> /etc/resolv.conf

Your ISP has name servers... the router has them listed in it somewhere, gotta find those numbers. Of course... nearly every wireless router on the planet is broadcasting a dhcp signal.

when i try the
route add default gw 192.168.1.1
this message comes
default: host name look up failure

i have an norwegian keyboard and i dont know the keyboard remap code so i cant remap my keyboard what is the command

killi 04-23-2003 02:34 PM

i want to now this command beacause i cant make the " symbol

finegan 04-23-2003 04:32 PM

This should work too:

echo 'nameserver 123.123.123.123' >> /etc/resolv.conf

Odd that your wireless router isn't running dhcp... that makes it pretty unique.

To switch keymaps, look into the command: loadkeys
