How to get IP address for wireless card

[xaviers2002]

Hello, I am trying to get a local IP address from my wireless card. The signal is excellent, but I don't know why It doesn't get an IP address.
Thanks

run KNOPPIX->NETWORK/INTERNET->WAVELAN CONFIGURATION

do you have a wireless access point ? if you have a wireless access point does it have WEP Key ?'

if your AP has WEP enabled you will need to configure your box with the same WEP key or else you will not be able to associate with the AP and get your DHCP lease (wether that be from a separate PC or from the AP).

to ste WEP key on your box use WAVELAN config or from the command line

iwconfig eth0 key xxxx-xxxx-xx eg iwconfig eth0 key 1111-1111-11

the WEP key is 10 hexadecimal characters long (for 40 bit encryption) .
