One more thing. If I run iwconfig after running the above commands I get
this:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point:
00:00:00:00:00:00
Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power:25 dBm
RTS thr:2347 B Fragment thr:2346 B
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
It doesn't show the ESSID, says Encryption is off, and Access Point
address of 00:00:00:00:00:00.
I assume these settings are part of my problem. Why didn't the settings
"take"? Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
James
