Hi,

I am using a Buffalo Airstation (with WEP) and a Buffalo wireless PCMCIA card (WLI-PCM-L11GP).  Although during system boot, there is a line saying some like "... unknown network card eth0" (not the exact phase!), after system boot up, I am able to access the internet.  But then I found I am accessing the Buffalo Airstation of my neighbour who use no WEP.  So. How can I set up the system to access mine airstation with WEP ?
Which option should I use ? Netcardconfig, Wlanconfig or Ndiswrapper ?  I am very confused.  Any advise ?

Thanks a lot.

Got it!

Just for others info. This Buffalo wireless card is working with DSL.  After booting up, I just issued these command sequence from the BASH terminal:

iwconfig eth0 essid "oscar"
iwconfig eth0 enc 5138-5A39-4554-5058-3251-3642-4B
pump -i eth0

Here, I am using a 128 bit WEP and the key must be  entered using hex.  It can also be entered using the ":" instead of "-", like 51:38:5A:39:..., etc.  Also, I did not use any tools like wlanconfig or netcardconfig.

But I wonder how the system will save this setting.  I now just put this in a shell script and put the script inside /opt/bootlocal.sh to execute during boot.  Any advice?

Thanks.

You should be fine calling your script from bootlocal.sh.  You could add the lines directly to bootlocal.sh also.
