Ok, i'm starting to figure this out now. There are actually TWO ways in Linux to get it working, and I only have partial knowledge of each:
1) one can issue a 'ifconfig ra0 up' command which will add the interface to the system. It will only work if there's a network driver loaded with the right 'alias' in it (for example 'eth0' or 'ra0'). So if this command works, then you have a valid network driver loaded.
Now this is where my knowledge ends since I don't know how to get the card to get a DHCP address from a server using 'ifconfig' commands. Anyone know this?!
2) You can use the 'ifup ra0' and 'ifdown ra0' commands but before you do this you first need to add the 'ra0' interface to the
/etc/network/interfaces file.
Thing is, since it's a wireless card I'm configuring, I also need to add the essid, channel and wepkey somewhere but I don't know in WHICH files? Anyone know?
