guys where do i do this stuff... i dunno where to type this..
- Configure now your IP:
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add -net default gw 192.168.0.1
Note: This IP configuration will work with most default configurations. Make sure you set the right local (wlan0) and gateway (gw) ip addresses. You may even have DHCP enabled on your access point, in that case you can obtain your ip automatically with dhclient
Note2: I have just installed Gentoo on my laptop and emerge takes care of evrything. All you have to do is:
USE="usb -pci" emerge linux-wlan-ng
