Thanks for the insight on the post rules, sorry for the violation. For whatever reason whenever I
ran that command that you gave me it wouldn't install properly but once I rebooted my machine it
actually worked. Im not sure why rebooting worked but Im happy that it does.
So I ran I have started on my last few commands:
[root@Whistler scripts]# modprobe ndiswrapper
[root@Whistler scripts]# iwconfig wlan0 essid ***
[root@Whistler scripts]# iwconfig wlan0 key ****
[root@Whistler scripts]# dhcpcd wlan0
-bash: dhcpd: command not found
So now I'm wondering did I type this command wrong?
