You need to find out your network name. BSS is -p 1, such as a Apple Airport and other AP products. If you're talking to another wireless card (sitting in a Linux/BSD box), it's probably IBSS mode, -p 3. You can only run one switch for wicontrol (along with -i, wi0 is the default). > insert /sbin/dhclient $device > remove /sbin/ifconfig $device delete > > (In school I have DHCP and above IP address is one of them) If the network is running DHCP, you shouldn't need to specify one. > Tail of /var/log/messages is as under: > **************************************** > > Last message repeated 41 times > /kernel: pccard : card inserted, slot 0 > pccardd[53]: Card "Lucent Technologies"("WaveLAN/IEEE")[version 01.01] [] > matched "Lucent Technologies"("WaveLAN/IEEE") [(null)][(null)] > /kernel: wi0: at port 0x240-0x27f irq 3 slot 0 on > pccard0 > /kernel: wi0: Ethernet address: 00:60:1d:1e:75:6b > pccardd[53]: wi0: Lucent Technologies (WaveLAN/IEEE) inserted.
