One other thing. In part, I wrote:
4. Click Next until you get to the page for the wvlan_cs config.
5. Do your thing.
Step 5 is where I am stuck.
If I forge ahead from Step 5, entering my network name in the ESSID field
and the password in the ENC_KEY field, when I finally get to the "do you
want to restart network?" page and say "yes", draknet churns away for
awhile, then spits out
Bringing up interface eth1: ./ifup: Prospect: command not found
Usage: iwconfig interface [essid {NN|on|off}]
Determining IP information for eth1...
[nwid {NN|on|off}]
[freq N.NNNN[k|M|G]]

[sens N]
[nick N]
[rate {N|auto|fixed}]
[rts {N|auto|fixed|off}]
[frag {N|auto|fixed|off}]
[enc NNNN-NNNN]
failed.
It would appear that draknet has a bug running ifup for eth1 without quoting
my network name, which is "2501 Prospect". I manually edited
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 to quote the WIRELESS_ESSID
parameter. I then ran netcfg (the RedHat script) and tried to activate
eth1. Still no luck. At this point my ifcfg-eth1 file looks like
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
WIRELESS_MODE=Ad-hoc
WIRELESS_ESSID="network name"
WIRELESS_ENC_KEY="password"
I've no idea if those values are correct or not. I also tried the default
settings that draknet offered:
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
WIRELESS_MODE=Managed
WIRELESS_ESSID=any
WIRELESS_ENC_KEY=password
with no success.
