Re: help with airport card on g3 powerbook
The question of the encription key has been brought up. I have
connected to the ap (base station) with the card using os9. The card
and ap should work with linux.
As I understand, when the module(s) for the airport card are
installed I can iwconfig in a terminal and see the essid and key etc.
for the signal received (strongest if more than one) by the card. If
there is more than one ap I can use iwconfig eth1 essid essid-for-aaa
to specify what ap will be "targeted". When I ifup eth1 the specs in
/etc/networks/interfaces about essid and key will be used to
establish what ap to ask for ip address (if dhcp). No ip number is
given if no ap is shown.
interfaces--
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wireless-essid essid-for-aaa
wireless-key key-for-aaa
When I iwconfig eth1 essid essid-for-aaa and then iwconfig I dont see
ap number. Without a number a connection wont be made. I can get that
ap number in about one of 100 attempts at iwconfig eth1 essid any.
Why isnt the ap found and reported when I load the driver and
iwconfig??
