Re: network setup

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel@panix.com>]

I can't do anything more on debian until problem with espeak 
accessibility gets fixed.  I've already sent that report to 
debian-accessibility list not running debian to do it either.  Lots of 
missing command line network documentation too.  I was making some 
progress using iwconfig and may be close except for an unassociated 
access point.  So when I run iwlist wlx00c0ca364bd2 scanning >iwlist.txt 
and the iwlist.txt has a line near the top that says address: and then 
shows a hex address, is that my access point?
