I just managed to configure my wireless. I use wireless at work and home. Can someone pls guide me how to set up iwconfig in command line?

Just 'iwconfig' gives the details of connection.
When I used txvt -rv -T "iwconfig" -e sudo -H /sbin/iwconfig from < http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/distros/dsl, > a new terminal window opens and then closes really fast.

Then I can probably make a script or something so that I dont have to enter the funny hex password each time I start wireless.....

This has been answered so many times. I am sure that a simple search would return the reults.

In /opt there is a script already made for you, based on your input to the wireless setup.

myiwconfig.sh

Add this script to your /opt/bootlocal.sh and .filetool.sh
and you should be good to go.

Thanks so much.
This works well. I made a copy of this file and changed the ssid and wep to it for office Added an alias of this file it to the .bashrc so that I dont have to enter ssid or the WEP in office.

I am really sorry if this was a repeat question but I searched really well and did not find anything. Used google besides the forum search...
