Hi Lars, Before requesting an IP address, you need to associate your machine with an ESSID.
To know which ESSID are available around you: $ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up $ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan That will give you the ESSID you can reach with the kind of encryption they require (WEP, WPA, WPA2). Then, depending on the encryption scheme and assuming you want to use the ESSID named MyEssid, you will have to run either: * for no encryption: $ sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "MyEssid" * WEP using an hexadecimal key: $ sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "MyEssid" key 1234567890 * WEP using an ascii key: $ sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "MyEssid" key s:asciikey * WPA/WPA2: You need to edit the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file as described in: $ man 5 wpa_supplicant.conf Then: $ sudo wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf Wait about 10 seconds. Then: $ sudo dhcpcd wlan0 Check if your computer has been associated correctly: $ sudo iwconfig wlan0 Hope it helps, Christophe _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list gNewSense-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
