dhclient -v wlan0 1. bring interface up ifconfig wlan0 up or iwconfig wlan0 up 2. set up credentials in wpasupplicant config file 3. get an ip from dhcp daemon dhclient -v wlan0 also useful to see which ap are around: iwlist scan hth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
