[SOLVED] wireless interface on eth1

igadoter · 08-23-2010, 10:53 AM

Hi,
I met the following problem. All rc.inet1 an rc.wireless scripts work well if a wireless extension is on wlan(x). My notebook has Intel Pro 2100 wireless adapter (the ipw2100 module). By the system the card is marked as eth1. If you have a look at rc.inet1(.conf) you see that by default an eth1 has no wireless extensions. At this moment I have no idea how to set up my network.
Please help.

You can add them

ex:

Code:

# Config information for eth1:
IPADDR[1]=""
NETMASK[1]=""
USE_DHCP[1]="yes"
DHCP_HOSTNAME[1]=""
WLAN_ESSID[1]="myessid"
WLAN_KEY[1]="mykey"

Or you could just install wicd (check extra/wicd in the Slackware tree) or network manager (on slackbuilds.org)

Thank you. I have just uninstalled wicd.
