Wireless Net Static IP

[kintaro oe]

Hi Guys,

I have an Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Card in my Dell Latitude D520
Laptop. I install dkms-ipw3945, ipw3945d and ipw3945-firmware from freshrpms just what
this how to explain: http://mikelococo.com/2007/01/fc6-on-d620/

I'm using the NetworkManager, how can i disable the keyringer so that it will not ask
for a password? How can I make my eth1 -> wireless card to have a static ip? I tried
creating a file ifcfg-eth1 in /etc/sysconfig/network-script but it doesn't recognize.
Any advice? Thanks!



cheers,

AFAIK NetworkManager does not support static addresses, so if you
really need this, the first step is to disable it.

then you can configure your wi-fi card with system-config-network but
there probably be additional configuration steps if you need WPA
encryption, since it is not supported out of the box by s-c-n

Gianluca,

Thanks for your advice..if i disable the networkmanger is it posible to enable the
netplugd and add eth01 in the netplugd.conf so that it will be detected.my problem is eth1
- wireless, is cant be detected. so thats why i'm using networkmanager to get the
driver. what do you think?

Hi,

Actually it does. Just create a script in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/
which contains command to set the IP of wl interface.

More info pls man NetworkManagerDispatcher
