That's how I felt - particularly as I didn't know what most of it meant anyway - so I couldn't trim in case I trimmed the crucial bit. > To get the relevant stuff, watch the logs (e.g., "tail > -F /var/log/syslog"), wait until things seem quiet, then (in a > different terminal) bring the interface up, and cut and paste > whatever gets written to the log. Thanks - that's what I needed. Full instructions. I didn't like to say so without even having tried. :-( I tend to get lost in the logs. But I get stuck again. Given that I have so far not succeeded in bringing the interface up, I can't get any further. The terminal just says: Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1 I shall now do some googling in order to find out how to use iwconfig for anything other than getting information about the wireless card(s).
