I've got Ubuntu 10.10 running on an old laptop and every now and again it has a grump with X and is a pain in the arse (pretty sure it's a loose connection as sometimes the BIOS moans it can't find any video). Anyway, I can usually get to TTY which is cool.
So I am sat in a cafe thinking "TTY's not so bad, I've got w3m installed and I just want to read the news anyway..." and that's where I came unstuck. Could I figure out how to connect to a network from the CLI? Could I buggery. The cafe's network was already known to "Network Manager"*, so is there any handy-dandy command line kung-fu I can apply to use that definition? Or will I have to go the long-way-round and use "wpa_supplicant" or something? Cheers, J. *And why doesn't "Network Manager" let you select a network definition and force a connection attempt? Urf. _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
