I am using two different WLANs. The problem is: When I have used the one and want to use the other (other building), I have to reboot. (Different ESSID, different IP, different nameserver etc.) What's the "right" way of doing this (i. e. without reboot)? Anyone actually *done* that? (I know how it should work in theory...)

can't you just re-issue the 'iwconfig' command with the new setting ?

Okay, I installed the Wlan router with a regular Cat5 cable and now I can see it with my other devices and the cards int he other systems can connect to the router, but I realydon't know where to go from here. As I said before, I now litle about wired lans and less about wireless lans.
What I want to do is share the internet connection that I use on my linux desktop (it's a PPP connection at tty0) with my Windows XP laptop. As I said, I can now see the router with the other systems and the cards can connect to the router, but I've no idea where to go from here. Anyhelp appreciated.

do an 'ifconfig' to get the ip address first. I am assuming you can have each workstation seeing each other through the wireless connection, including the KNOPPIX box.

Here are the results of ifconfig

How do I use that info to set up the internet connection shareing on the laptop? I'm also going to be using a WiFi card in my PocketPC, but I'll worry about that connections share later.

um, where is the information for the wireless card on this KONPPIX ? I can't see it.

As I said, I gave up on going with wireless cards all around, and exchanged my card on the knoppix box for a wlan router. The router is connected to a standard network card by a standard network cable.

I am confused. You have a WLAN router(which is a stand alone device), how can you connect it to the KNOPPIX ? If you mean through wire(RJ45), it means you have a normal network card on the KNOPPIX, then 'ifconfig' should show it.
How is the PPP connection connects to the outside world(ADSL modem or Cable modem or normal modem) ?
