Hi, thanks for your reply. I entered iwconfig in the terminal and got
this message. It is finding the Joiku wireless from what I can gether,
but its not connecting.
This is what came out:-
==============================================================
jake...@jakewc2-laptop:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wmaster0 no wireless extensions.

pan0 no wireless extensions.
jake...@jakewc2-laptop:~$
==========================================================================
Strange
Does anybody have any idea what that means, and why the netbook wont
accept the key?

The 'eth2 not such device' probably means you don't have a
device called eth2. Type iwconfig in terminal to get a list of
your network devices, then try again using whichever your wireless
device is.

Hi everybody, I have decided that using the orange dongle just isnt
working, so I am trying something else. Its called Joiku. I just
wondered if anybody has used it before and got it to work.
I'm typing this mail whilst sat on the train connected via wifi to my
phone which is running the pay-for version of Joikuspot.
I have set it up according to the instructions, but it keeps asking
for the encryption key.
I had a similar issue when I tried to use WEP passphrase, but instead
use WEP open, and it works fine.
Yep, WEP open and changed the key to something I could remember on the settings
page. Works a treat for me but I must admit I use it mostly with my ipod touch
(*boo, *hiss). Beats getting an iphone though :)
Cheers,
Al.
Regards,
Jamie

I found a page on the Ubuntu wiki, that talks about WEP. It give this
to try,
c...@ubuntu:~$ sudo iwconfig eth2 essid MyNet
c...@ubuntu:~$ sudo iwconfig eth2 key xxxxxxxxxx
c...@ubuntu:~$ sudo ifconfig eth2 up
c...@ubuntu:~$ sudo dhclient3 eth2
I changed the Mynet to the Joiku name, and the xxx to the encryption
key, but it says it cant find the essid
it says error for wireless request *Set ESSID* (8B1A) SET failed on
device eth2 not such device
not sure if I did it correct there, but that's what came back.
Could it be the NetworkManager that is the problem here?
John.
