I am running Linux Mint Gloria on my PC. I have ADSL broadband connection which require login and pswd connection to connect. I have SmartAX MT841 modem which has wireless card free with it. I also have recently purchased DELL inspiron 1545 machine which have Vista preinstalled in it. Now I want to connect to internet connection wirelessely using that card. It is successfully connecting to the network but not to the internet. There is no setting in wireless setting where I can insert login, password necessary for connection
So can any tell me what setting I'll ve to do on Mint so that I can share my internet connection wireless on my Laptop machine.
Hi,
I have successfully installed the latest Linux Mint for the very first time on an old (2001) Gateway 600 laptop. I still have my old Windows XP on this too.
I cannot figure out how to get the wireless connection to work (to connect to my home router).
I have tried installing my only... (5 Replies)
I just installed linux mint 11 yesterday. I cannot get the wireless to register, it says that firmware is missing but I can not figure out how to make it work. I am still a newbie and would appreciate any help possible. Thank you. (7 Replies)

iwevent - Display Wireless Events generated by drivers and setting changes
SYNOPSIS
iwevent
DESCRIPTION
iwevent display Wireless Events received through the RTNetlink socket. Each line display the specific Wireless Event which describe what
has happened on the specified wireless interface.
This command doesn't take any arguments.
DISPLAY
There is two classes of Wireless Events.
The first class is events related to a change of wireless settings on the interface (typically done through iwconfig or a script calling
iwconfig). Only settings that could result in a disruption of connectivity are reported. The events currently reported are changing one of
the following setting :
Network ID
ESSID
Frequency
Mode
Encryption
All those events will be generated on all wireless interfaces by the kernel wireless subsystem (but only if the driver has been converted
to the new driver API).
The second class of events are events generated by the hardware, when something happens or a task has been finished. Those events include :
New Access Point/Cell address
The interface has joined a new Access Point or Ad-Hoc Cell, or lost its association with it. This is the same MAC address that is
reported by iwconfig.
Scan request completed
A scanning request has been completed, results of the scan are available (see iwlist).
Tx packet dropped
A packet directed at this address has been dropped because the interface believes this node doesn't answer anymore. An early indica-
tion that the node may have left the cell or gone out of range.
Custom driver event
Event specific to the driver. Please check the driver documentation.
Registered node
The interface has successfully registered a new wireless client/peer. Will be generated mostly when the interface act as an Access
Point (mode master).
Expired node
The registration of the client/peer on this interface has expired. Will be generated mostly when the interface act as an Access
Point (mode master).
Only some of those events will be generated on some wireless interfaces by the wireless driver, and their support depend on the specific
hardware/driver combination. Please refer to driver documentation for details.
