I tried this, here is how long I got:
: ifconfig wlan0 up
succeeds, do not print anything.
: iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0 No scan results.
: iwconfig wlan0 essis ""
do not print anything
:
: Now I wrote the file /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, as follows:
(I have problems with the keyboard on this live CD, I cannot
write braces, so instead i write the words leftbrace rightbrace)
network= leftbrace
ssid = ""
psk = ""
rightbrace
(my wireless network do not use encryption)
: wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlan0 -d
which prints:
kjetil:/home/kjetil# wpa_supplicant -c
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlan0 -d
