newbie wireless card
I'm using NetBSD 1.6 on a IBM ThinkPad A20m with a Linksys wireless card.

A newbie question:

I need a script to setup the card on startup (set SSID, network name and WEP). The ones I've tried don't work!

Thanks in advance
Michael

What's the model number of your Linksys card?

wireless card
I just set up my laptop with FreeBSD 4.8 and my Avaya (orinoco) card. wicontrol lets me set the card's ssid, etc., from the command line. I just put the entries in /etc/rc.local, and it works great.

this helped also:

For NetBSD, the equivalent command is wiconfig (wicontrol in FreeBSD). Useful links:
man page for wiconfig: http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cg...+NetBSD-current
