Re: Re: I'm one step away from Airport

[Jesse David Andrews <jdandr2@uky.edu>]

All I did was edit the /etc/network/interfaces

added:
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

You can have:
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
	address 10.0.1.0
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	gateway 10.0.1.1

You probably want to remove (comment out) the line:
auto eth0

I don't know how to tell it the essid or whatnot for the iwconfig here...
you can always add that to the rc.d files.

Hope this helps
Jesse

This worked!  When I get it down to a system I'll post here what
exactly I did, for other cluebots like me.
Basically, though,

xueexueg:/home/o# ifconfig eth1 10.0.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
xueexueg:/home/o# route add default gw 10.0.1.1 dev eth1
xueexueg:/home/o# iwconfig eth1 essid ARTFL
xueexueg:/home/o# iwconfig eth1 enc ten_digits_of_hex

Thanks a lot!
