The iwconfig(8) command lets you fiddle with the wireless parameters. It
is part of the "wireless-tools" package on my Red Hat 7.3 system, if that
helps any.
The "/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts" file is used by the PCMCIA automation
scripts to feed things to iwconfig(8) when a card is inserted.
Ask your network dudes:
- Are they using 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g, or Something Else(TM). I'm
pretty sure the card you describe is 11b only, but let's be sure.
- What is the SSID?
- Are you using WEP (Worthless Encryption Protocol, AKA Wireless
Equivalent Privacy)? If so, what is the key?
Make sure you don't have any routes via gateways that don't exist. ;-)
