Hey All,

I've have my Netgear WG111T configured manually with a static IP via with NDISwrapper version 1.11rc1

Now the quest to get Debian to play nice with it on startup.

I am using WPA so I also have wpa_supplicant installed and configured. All is well in that respect. I have an IP address and can access my home network.

I found a wlcardconfig script and it sees wlan0, but it looks like it is using some other tool for setting up WEP no options for WPA. It fails to complete and I don't want WEP anyway.

R5A26 build.

I come from the GenToo world and I know exactly what to do to setup the network for it. I am a bit lost in Debian.

Can someone just explain the Network setup for Debian?
Any ideas?

This driver works well.. maybe it could get you from having to use ndis..

doing the config in debian:
edit:

/etc/network/interfaces

do a "man interfaces" for examples and such.

Cool thanks!!!!

Has anyone actually gotten /etc/network/interfaces to work with a WLAN USB? I have a zd1211-based chip which I would manually get working as follows:


Having read docs etc I figured that this would translate into something like this in the interfaces file (may have mistakes as I'm doing this off the top of my head):



But no luck. I've also tried other variants such as wireless_key, wireless_ess id etc. as I find that there is a lot contradicting information about. I am also under the impression that others have problems with the interfaces file.

This same thing kicked my but for a while. I figured out what was killing me was the fact that the driver I used named the interface ath0 instead of wlan0, so all of the lines in the interfaces file had to be changed from wlan0 to ath0. To find out what the wireless card is called type in iwconfig. A list will come up with all network devices.
