ok iam able to get my wireless card to work DWL-122 dlink usb but when i go in and try to make changes to it essid key or any thing it tells me
error for wireless request "set esside" (8b1a)
set failed on device wlan0 ; operation not supported.
any help would be great thanks.
are you doing the command #]iwconfig wlan0 essid "whatever"
you need to be root to do this. type su. then run that command
ok i tried the su iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys
UNKNOW ID: IWCONFIG
also iam running knoppix 3.7 and even when i do the GUI and try to set the settings no luck they stay default
thanks for help.
su is folowed by a username==> su username.
sudo on the other hand is folowed by a comand.==>sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys
hope this helps

when you set iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys does it say operation failed or when you do pump -i wlan0. when i do iwconfig wlan0 it normaly will show the ap at first but when i try set the encryption key it fails on me and the ap will be gone and pump -i wlan0 fails
