    Linksys USB wireless problem

    To Keilaron:

    It looks as if the module is loading but I can't really tell with out the full output of lsmod. Anyways try this:

    At the command prompt type in iwconfig. What shows up? (Should be something like wlan0). If it does then try typing this: iwconfig wlan0 essid yourssidgoeshere

    If you use wep then it would be: iwconfig wlan0 essid yourssidgoeshere enc xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

    Then type iwconfig wlan0 to display the connection and you should see a signal level and the mac address of the ap that the adapter is associated to. Next type: dhcpcd wlan0 to grab an ip (it might be pump -i wlan0 so if it says dhcpcd not found then try pump).

    If it says that iwconfig can not be found that means that the wireless tools are not installed and we'll have to go from there. Let us know how it goes!
