I got kanotix the other day, and did a hard drive install, I seem to have a wireless connection available, but as of yet, I do not know how to connect to any networks that show up it looks like I have to do all my connection stuff by the command line here in knoppix world, is that right?
so far I have found that....
my pcmcia card that I use is called eth0
it doesn't turn on automatically on boot, this would be good to sort out, as I usually want to see what I can connect to.
to turn it on, i have to issue the command ...
ifconfig eth0 up
if I want to see avalable networks...
iwlist s
so that gives me a list of what nets are available, how do I connect to these networks on the command line
are there any nicer graphical utilities that I can use to achieve this
and the graphical utility to do this and enable it on boot would be:
# netcardconfig
(which is also in the K-menu under the Kanotix submenu)
hope that helps
-Mike
