wireless card -was- Re: [Discuss] Boot Problems and Firefox

[Jason Abernathy]

The card I have is a little different. It's built with an Intel chipset 
and I use the IPW drivers.

Once the drivers are properly loaded there are a couple of command line 
tools I use.

iwconfig will display any cards with wireless interfaces

iwspy can be used to manually get data from the devices

The man pages for these command will explain the parameters. Using a 
combination of these I can find the address of the nodes to connect to.

Let me know if that helps!
