I have tried the above method and it renders me not being able to
connect. The kwifi tool I use for now, just lets me see if i'm
getting any signal, and it also lets me know when I have a IP address.
from what i uderstand i can use iwconfig or neat (networkmanager)
the cmd
NetworkManagerInfo in the terminal uts a icon om my tool bar. but when
I try to use that it locks up my system so, i feel that i'm stuck
with out using a secure AP at home.
If I change my settings in both Fedora & my Router I can't connect. I
get a "Set bite Rate not supported error and it tells me to check the
so here it is... my trials and tribulations....
Broadcast SSID, No Security = Connection
NO Broadcast SSID, No Security = No Connection
Broadcast SSID, WEP Security = NO Connection
NO Broadcast SSID, WEP Security = NO Connection
I've read the iwconfig man page followed the instructions
I even we nt as far as coping the ifcfg-eth1 text file into another
edited it by adding the KEY
field to it put it back into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and
reboot, I get the "Set bite Rate not supported error and it tells
me to check the cable on boot.
