Hello, I've been able to get kernel 2.6.1 working on Fedora Core 1 I installed the berlios driver (not the latest CVS as it seemed to be broken) and it worked. By configurating everything manually as instructed by helpful people in this list, I was able to browse the internet. So I had to do the following after booting every time: iwconfig wlan0 essid FLYNET mode managed channel 6 enc BE69-EEF2-E7B2-6335-4ED3-92E5-9F ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.104 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 route add default gw 192.168.0.1 But this is not useful, so I made a few changes to the config files: /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=pctimo.flynet GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 DEVICE=wlan0 IPADDR=192.168.0.104 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.0.0 BROADCAST=192.168.0.255 ONBOOT=yes #BOOTPROTO=dhcp USERCTL=yes After rebooting, the device was finally visible in the RedHat/Fedora Network Configuration Panel, and I was even able to set WLAN specific settings such as the WEP key, ESSID etc... But my question is now, instead of using this graphical tool, where do I put the information for the wlan specific stuff ? ie: The following lines seem to be covered by the changes I made in the files above ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.104 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 route add default gw 192.168.0.1 But this line: iwconfig wlan0 essid FLYNET mode managed channel 6 enc BE69-EEF2-E7B2-6335-4ED3-92E5-9F In what config file can I put a replacement for this file, so that I don't have to execute it every time ? Thnx Timothy.
