All; I routinely connect to several wireless networks. Here's the steps I take today: 1) I run "iwlist eth1 scanning" This gives me the settings for the wireless channels around me (I really only need the channel) 2) I go to Kmenu-->System Settings-->Network I input the root password when prompted then I select the wireless device (eth1) and I change the wireless channel to the channel I want. Then I save the changes and "activate" the wireless interface This works fine however I'm thinking there has to be a better way. I have the wireless settings set to "Auto" for the SSID but I always have to change the channel. Is there a way to either tell the wireless to just search for a local wireless AND use the settings it finds or - is there a command line method I can use to change the channel. I've run iwconfig like this "iwconfig eth1 channel 6" but it doesn't work. Any Ideas?
