NAME
wireless - Wireless Tools and Wireless Extensions SYNOPSIS
iwconfig iwpriv -a DESCRIPTION
The Wireless Extensions is an API allowing you manipulate Wireless LAN networking interfaces. It is composed of a variety of tools and configuration files. It is documented in more details in the Linux Wireless LAN Howto. The Wireless Tools are use to change configuration on the fly, to get statistics and diagnose those interfaces. They are described in their own man page (see below). Wireless configuration is specific to each Linux distribution. This man page will contain in the future the configuration procedure for a few common distributions (when I get the necessary info from them). For the time being, check the various files included with the Wireless Tools package. DEBIAN 3.0 Debian 3.0 (and later) has integrated wireless configuration in their network scripts. File : /etc/network/interfaces Form : wireless_<function> <value> wireless_essid Home wireless_mode ad_hoc See also : /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tool /usr/share/doc/wireless.##/README.Debian ORIGINAL PCMCIA SCRIPTS
If you are using the original configuration scripts from the Pcmcia package, you can use this method. File : /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts Form : *,*,*,*) ESSID="MY_ESSID" MODE="Managed" ;; See also : /etc/pcmcia/wireless File PCMCIA.txt part of Wireless Tools package AUTHOR
