Thanks Craig, what does the error message mean though? Just for my own
knowledge...
Now it seems I can't configure the wlan0 interface.
If I issue:
iwconfig wlan0 essid "mynet"
And then issue the command:
Iwconfig
It still shows essid:off/any
What gives?
Sorry for being so useless with this, it's my first attempt at anything
wireless in linux.
Thanks,
jeff
