Hi,

I run a laptop with lenny and debian kernel 2.6.32 that runs wireless.

I connected to the laptop via USB a disk that contains a partition that also has debian kernel 2.6.32 but sid and that doesn't have network manager or wicd installed.

How would I get wireless going without them on that USB disk?

The laptop wireless module b43 gets loaded when I boot from the uSB disk.

/etc/network/interfaces has:

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

I'd add something like:

<code>
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
    address 192.168.2.111
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.2.1
    wireless-essid My_Home_Network
<edoc>



I tried just that. ng. :-(
