Re: Fwd: Re: Going wireless
Guys, first of all, let me clarify a couple of things. I hail from the
Windows world where you just plug the card, install the drivers and
voila, you're all set. I am just trying to learn about access points and
all that.
Secondly, one my co-workers is right next to me and he is working just
fine with his wireless card in the windows world. That tells us that
there is an access point close by. At the hotel where I am staying at
there is also a WiFi network. I have been unable to scan a network on
either environment.
I think the kernel/driver is seeing the card for one of the lights is
on. Besides, I can "see" the wlan0 device.
Here is the output of iwconfig, ifconfig and iwlist commands. Again, I
would appreciate any help on this matter.
