I have two wireless networks. I'd like to be able to switch between
them. I'm using ndiswrapper on f8 with a Broadcom BCM94311MCG chip.
ifcfg-wlan0 works fine:
cat ifcfg-wlan0
DEVICE=wlan0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Wireless
ESSID=net1
So I set up ifcfg-wlan1:
cat ifcfg-wlan1
DEVICE=wlan0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=no
TYPE=Wireless
ESSID=net2
ifdown wlan0
ifup wlan1
Determining IP information for wlan0... failed; no link present. Check
cable?
Then:
ifup wlan0
Determining IP information for wlan0... failed; no link present. Check
cable?
rmmod, and modprobing ndiswrapper makes ifup wlan0 work again.
I can see both wireless access points with iwlist wlan0 scan.
