Hi all. I've been playing around with wireless connections for the last couple of weeks, mainly using wellereiter to scan for networks & attempting to connect to them. It's been a frustrating experience so far with no successes.
Even for networks that I know to be free & open (people with 'doze laptops connecting happily, for instance), nothin' works for me. Wellenreiter sees the network and when I click & hold & select 'join network' it brings up the wlan network settings tabs where I remove my home settings (which do work BTW, and I've saved into a separate file so I can easily retore them after) & save & still I'm not on. I use wep @ home so I know not to try to connect to the ones that have it (hey, I'm not looking to crack secure networks, I just wanna read my email & new zaurus ng posts once in a while while travelling around).
I've searched the archives for tips on wireless scanning (which let me to both kismet & wellenreiter, the latter being much easier to use). Besides getting both of the programs working fine (or so it seems). still no joy.
Could somebody please give me some tips I can try? thks
