Re: PCMCIA wireless help needed

[joe@omc-international.com.au]

Hi,

This is what I have in my /etc/network/interfaces file:


iface wlan0 inet dhcp
        wireless_mode managed
        wireless_essid homenet
        wireless_key xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        name Wireless LAN card


Hope this helps,

Joe
