Hello Daniel<br>
<br>
Thanks for that. At least I know what each is supposed to do.<br>
<br>
The WG311 is based on the ACX111 from Texas Instrument.<br>
There is actually a sourceforge project for that, but the documentation
is either made for martians or people from another world. I have not
spent much time on it either I must admit. <br>
I went straight to ndiswrapper, at least I know that the card is
working.<br>
I have not ifup.down under Zenwalk for wlan0.<br>
Anyway I tried again the <br>
iwconfig wlan0 essid Frogs<br>
<br>
Still no modif.. <br>
Same for acces point, can't change it ... <br>
however I could change from "restricted" to "managed".<br>
I just don't get it....<br>
Cheers<br>
E<br>
<br>

ndiswrapper? Good luck; in my experience that seldom works
effectively. Are you sure there isn't an open driver for the hardware?
Which chipset is it anyhow?

Of course they are: iwlist shows you which access points are visibile,
while iwconfig shows how the card is currently configured.

Usually you would set the card to managed mode, then set the essid to
whatever your network was; the rest should take care of itself.
By "usually", I actually mean: most people, these days, would simply use
the tools supplied by their distribution that manage all of this
automatically; ifupdown or equivalent on your platform can probably take
care of most of it automatically.

Daniel
