I thought I'd give knoppmyth a try since I was getting fairly tired of managing a gentoo install just for my set top box. So I installed it, everything went smoothly with the notable exception of my wireless network.

I have the rt2400 chipset in an asus digimatrix and I can't get it to associate with the access point. If I do `iwlist scan` it can see the access point but when I try the normal wifi stuff:
Code:
iwconfig wlan0 essid MyAP
iwconfig wlan0 key ####
ifconfig wlan0 up


It just sits there and acts like it can't see anything. Is there some trick that I'm missing? (I know I didn't plumb it in the example, but it should still see the ap at this point.) This worked fine on gentoo and I'm not sure what could be wrong. Iwconfig is pretty standard at this point I imagine.

Thanks :)

I was having problems too. The main problem for me came with they key. I use a key other than the first indexed key so I had to get that all hashed out. I ended up getting it working by puting this in my /etc/network/interfaces file.

Code:
allow-hotplug eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp
        wireless-mode managed
        wireless-essid (ssid)
        wireless-channel 2
        wireless-key [2] (key)


I'm not sure the allow-hotplug does me much good but I read that somewhere. Then it will start automatically at boot but you should be able to ifconfig eth2 up and then dhclient eth2. Replace eth2 with your interface for all of this obviously.

Thanks, I'll definitely give that a shot.
