Lots of you are using WiFi with Linux. I am too, in certain locations. (home and The Strand, to name two.) But when it doesn't work, I have zero clue how to diagnose what's wrong.
This weekend, I was at a hotel with an open access WiFi network. All of the Windows users I was with connected to the net more or less automatically, but I never got my system talking. I managed to get Kismet working. Kismet gave me lots of info about the network, but I wasn't able to translate that into a working configuration. I spent several hours on it. Very frustrating. (I have Kismet's packet dumps if anybody wants to see...) I had two WiFi cards, too, the Intel Pro/Wireless 2100 (aka Centrino) built into the laptop and an Orinoco (Hermes) card. No joy with either. Anyway, my question: What's in your WiFi troubleshooting toolkit? When it doesn't work, what do you do?
