Netgear WPN311 Madwifi WPA2 Configuration Help
Hey,
I cannot get my wifi working at all. I have a Netgear
WPN311. This is my first wifi experience on Linux, and between
Madwifi, wpa_supplicant, network-manager, network-manager-gnome,
wlanconfig, iwconfig, iwlist, /etc/network/interfaces/,
/etc/default/wpa_supplicant, and god-knows-what else that I
probably left out, I have no clue what I'm doing.
My network is using WPA2, and is not broadcasting its SSID.
But for starters, I'd like to try getting the card to just
pickup the unencrypted, broadcasting wireless networks in my
area. I know there are some nearby thanks to my Windows machines.
Can anyone help me get started? I'm using the desktop
install of Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft. I actually installed the
Netgear card after I installed Ubuntu, if that might matter.
This is a new system, so if a fresh install of a different
distribution would make things easier, I'm all for it. I'd
really appreciate it if someone could just help me understand
how to set this up as painlessly as possible.
Thanks,
- GM
