Subject: Getting wireless to work on public wireless network
Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2005 18:39:11 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <421B7C4F.8010907@comcast.net> (raw)
this may not be the place to ask this and if not kindly point me to the
appropiate place and I will ask there.
I have my HP N5150 with a Belkin 802.11g wireless card WORKING on my
home network using hotplug.d and wireless.opts. Where it gets it's
essid, encyption, etc parameters.
Now, I go to my local library and wish to use their open wireless
network. There params are
mode: managed
encyption: off
essid: JCPLWireless
I fire up and of course I don't connect because I am using my home
parmeters. Running 'iwlist wlan0 scanning' reveals the JCPLWireless
network as advertised. Ok, I enter:
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
iwconfig wlan0 enc off
iwconfig wlan0 essid JCPLWireless
But then running 'iwconfig wlan0' it lists 'ESSID=""'. All other params
are set to the new values, mode managed and enc off.
So, what do I need to do to get connected to a public wireless network
WITHOUT having to change wireless.opts every time.
