which connects 3 Windows computers. I assumed that it would be easy to
connect the Linux computer to the router., but I am having problem and I
don't underatand why. I have tried a number of settings, but none will
activate. Here is the last setting I tried
Addr. DHCP
Mode: Auto
SSID: Enigma
Chan 5
Trans 1M
Key 0xnnnnnnnnnn
What am I doing wrong?
Then Auther Pemberworote:
you did say what tools you were using for the configuration.
Here's the routine I follow on my own laptop, it isn't pretty, but it
works,
my wireless interface is wlan0:
iwlist wlan0 scan # to ensure that it can see the AP
iwconfig wlan0 essid "myssid" # set interface to SSID
ifconfig wlan0 up # activate interface
dhclient wlan0 # get dhcp info from AP
That usually does it for me.

Your suggestion did not work. I was told it did not exist. Now I am
using the Internet Connection Wizard. The driver I am using is the one found
by FC5t2. After selecting the driver, I entered information to give to the
wireless. The wizard called the connection "eth1." (I did substitue eth1 for
your wlan0 when trying your suggestion.) When I go to activate the
connection (where is runs "ifup", I am told that it failed.
