Wireless Card Access on 6000L
« on: October 27, 2004, 09:49:03 pm »
Hey,

does anyone know how to turn on and connect to wireless networks using the wireless card via command line? I am not sure how to get wlan0 working without using the GUI.

thanks

I have nto tested this ont eh sharp rom but this is what I would think you need to do:

Code: [Select]
usbctl on 1
modprobe p80211
modprobe prism2_usb
source /etc/wlan/shared
wlan_bring_it_up

I have OpenZaurus on my 6000 right now so Ic an not test that and see if that is correct but if I remember right that is the proccess needed.  You will also need to edit /etc/wlan/wlan.conf to point to the correct /etc/wlan/wlancfg-SSID files so that it knows how to connect.

How do you get the wireless net in openzaurus? i just get the dialog where it asks the ip, net, and that kind of stuff but not the wifi settings. I'm trying GPE now, but in opie i didnt get it up, should i use only the console script?
