I'm trying to get wireless working on Linux.
I've a Intel 2100 built in Wireless and i think it's supported on this linux version.
I've executed wavelan and setup all as i do on windows. (SSID, WEP)
Any help aviable to one that doesn't know how possible can this work ???
I would preciate a step by step as i am starting using linux.
There is any app to activate or deactivate the wlan ???
Thank you all
I forgot to say that is wep encrypted and the ssid bradcast is disable.
I tried something after and this is the result:
iwlist eth1 scanning

I think the problem is on essid and wep
Any help ?
try running the wlcardconfig
if using KDE, press Alt & F2
type wlcardconfig <enter>
then enter your essid, wep key, leave unknown ones blank
I get "no wireless device found" with my Pro2100 / 2200 Intel when I run wavelave. Although when booting, it "found eth0, found eth1"
Wish I could help, but mine dosnt seem to be working.
I've everything setup with wlcardconfig and keeps not working.
If i disable WEP and enable ESSID everything works fine, but i would like to preserve that settings.
Some security is better than none :D
If you have anything else i can test, please say something ...
I figure out the problem is on ESSID.
Even if i set if using
I get essid="" when doing iwconfig eth0Code:iwconfig eth0 essid myessid
It seems to be a common problem.
Some posts say it should be solved using ndiswrapper.
If anyone knows another way to set the essid please give me a hint
