So, I assume that eth1 would be replaced by wlan0 in the commands above, correct?
Yes, that is true. Therefore if you create a bash script with those commands it would look like the following (I understand that you do not use encryption, so I omitted the "key" setting) #!/bin/bash iwconfig wlan0 essid beam26wireless dhcpcd wlan0 Now, all I do is to run this script as root every time I need to use my wireless connection. I do not need to automatically run this script at boot time because I do not use the wireless connection that often. I know some people in this list will consider this "solution" a little bit clunky, but hey, it works for me, and I am really not an expert when it comes to configuring stuff like this. I am just a user too. :-) HTH - AR -- If you stare long enough into an abyss, the abyss will stare back into you... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
