drb,
this should be easy if your adapters are supported by Kanotix. Here's my network setup:
router = Netgear DG824MB
DHCP = enabled, IP address 192.168.0.1
essid = "wire"
Wep key = "aaabacadae"
channel = 7
client adapter = Typhoon Speednet USB WLAN Adapter, recognized as "wlan0"
Connecting requires two steps:
1. establish wireless link
2. obtain IP address for client from DHCP server (router)
You can either run netcardconfig or start the connection from command line:
Code:
su
iwconfig wlan0 essid "wire" mode Managed channel 7 key aaabacadae
dhclient wlan0
That's it!
IPW2200: You need to upgrade to the latest stable kernel to get full support for this adapter. Centrino wireless is labeled "eth0" or "eth1", not "wlan0".
Netgear PCMCIA wireless card and a 3Com USB adapter: please post output of command "lspci" for these adapters so I can identify the wireless chips used in them.
