Networking :: Making a usb wireless device config utility



# This script has worked well for me:
#!/bin/bash
linux:~/bin # ifconfig
modprobe prism2_usb prism2_doreset=1
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=gmtnet authtype=opensystem
# set up my IP
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.2.6

# And for encrypted wireless:
#!/bin/bash

ssid=gmtnet
wep="E2:74:5D:35:00"

modprobe prism2_usb prism2_doreset=1
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable

wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_hostwep decrypt=true encrypt=true
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11WEPDefaultKeyID=0
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11ExcludeUnencrypted=true
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11PrivacyInvoked=true
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11WEPDefaultKey0=$wep

wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=$ssid authtype="sharedkey"

# set up my IP
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.2.3 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.2.20

# And I stole both of those from the following post, thanks

This works for the Averatec 3150p as well THANKS LOADS i was bangin my head on the wall, the wlan0 was showing up, I could mess with it even once got an ip addy onto it but couldnt ping anything on my lan, that little script fixed it though. Awesome thanks man!
my problem is that DSL loses my wireless settings after a certain amount of time, i.e. i have to go in to DSL panel and reset the Prisim 2 channel to 10. it defaults to 11. Does someone know how to solve this?

peace
