Title: Alternative Tools To The Network Applet?
Post by: loothi on July 19, 2006, 03:55:01 pm

Hello,

I have a  NL-2511CF Mercury CF card + gorgeous sl-3100 Z.

Mostly I can't connect to unencrypted networks, but infuriatingly, occasionally it does work. Lights flash on the card, but I usually get "network offline". I can use Wellenrieter to see networks, just can't connect to most of them (have disabled the Auto-connect in the settings already).

I wondered if I could mimic the actions of the network applet with command line tools to try and figure out what is going on?

What tools would these be?

iwconfig?

I think I am using the hostap drivers...

cheers

Yes,  use ifconfig to bring the interface up and iwconfig to setup the wireless configuration.

Sounds like you have a bad wireless card.
