Well, I am used to scanning and then going to my wireless network, but here I can't.
I have tried imputing all of my network's information through the network manager, but I can't seem to go to the internet.
What should I do.
(If you need more information just ask)
open a console, also called; terminal, x-term, konsole, aterm... (equivalent to dos-porompt/komandline in Windows).
there type
and post output here, it will help us know if your card is supported in knoppix and point you to further information.Code:sudo iwconfig
you can also try to type
where XXX is network card recognized as wireless in previous command.Code:sudo iwconfig XXX key "s:whatever" restricted essid ??? nickname ZZZ mode managed
??? is your essid
ZZZ is your nickname (if you have one)
key "s:whatever" , can also be , key "7768617461766572" that is key in hex, 77=w 68=h 61=a... note the absence of " s: " , s: tells iwonfig that key is in alfanumeric form not hex. oh and whatever is YOUR key, not the text whatever, i know you are not an idiot, but i have actually been asked why it wont work...
