To get wireless in RL3, you need to write a script, something like this for my home network and my Lenovo r51 (ipw2200): -------------------------------------------------- # Log in to curleynet # Time-stamp: <2007-07-20 22:04:11 root curleynet> # clean out the driver, in case it is hung up, and reinitialise the # hardware. rmmod ipw2200 modprobe ipw2200 killall dhclient # Detect the wireless interface, ignoring output to stderr. IF=$(iwconfig 2> /dev/null | grep ESSID | cut -d ' ' -f1) echo Interface is $IF iwconfig $IF essid Curleynet nick dragon channel 6 key xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mode managed # dhclient $IF ifconfig $IF 192.168.1.4 route del default route del default # in case there are two. route add default gw 192.168.1.12 route -n cat > /etc/resolv.conf <<EORES search localdomain nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 192.168.1.4 nameserver 192.168.1.3 EORES ifconfig $IF iwconfig $IF -------------------------------------------------- Obviously that isn't very flexible, but it works for me at home. I originally wrote that because NM was a turkey and couldn't reliably associate with my home network. It is not much more reliable, but I keep this script around for those times when NM looses its marbles. > > At work we have four or five APs, and I often carry a laptop around (I'm > the IT bloke).
