(See the re(4) and ifconfig(8) manpages.) Be aware that if you are forcing one end of the link to a specific mode (instead of letting it auto-negotiate speed and duplex) you will normally also have to force the other end of the link to the same settings. Most cheap (and some not-so-cheap) ethernet switches only support auto-negotiation. > Also trying to work out why when using dhclient fwe0 (presuming its > my wireless card) it never gets a link .. is there more to getting a > link with wireless? there is no encryption. fwe0 is not your wireless card. fwe(4) is for ethernet emulation over FireWire (aka ieee1394). (As clearly described in the fwe(4) manpage.) There are a large number of settings that can be used with wireless connections. See ifconfig(8) for the full list (look for references to 802.11). A couple of settings that you will probably need to set are the mode (11a, 11b or 11g) as well as the SSID. > > Any an all assistance is greatly appreciated. > -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
