[kwlug-disc] command line wireless configuration

[Raul Suarez]

iwconfig is for WEP If that's what you need:

iwconfig wlan0 essid xxxx channel xx key xxxxxxxxx 
dhcpcd -t 5 -d wlan0

(or) 


dhclient wlan0


But I'm sure you'd like to use the wpa supplicant.

Look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo


DHCP is independent of how you connect, wired or wireless.

Subject: [kwlug-disc] command line wireless configuration
 
I'm having problems with recent kernels and my wireless, and I was wondering if I could get some direction in using the command line step by step to configure the wireless with dhcp just so I can rule out gui problems.

iwconfig
