Hello,
I have a wireless DSL router set up at home. I currently don't use encryption, so it's essentially a free-for-all and I've noticed some freeloaders and the router doesn't provide any way to restrict access other than by setting up encryption (side question: anyone know of a wireless router that can restrict access by MAC address?). I tried setting up 64-bit encryption and adding an entry in /etc/pcmcia/wireless.conf on my laptop. No dice. Anyone know what the appropriate entry would look like?
Alternatively...
Can anyone suggest a tutorial/How-To on setting up wireless PCMCIA cards to work on an encrypted wireless network?
Many thanks,
Jason
hi jason,
i also configure my wireless card (eth1) it through /etc/network/interface :
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
mapping hotplug
script grep
map eth0
map eth1# The loopback interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback
# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation
#auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wireless-essid BOB
wireless-key ABC12398740AC2BD32FDAC107
when I plug the card or if i boot, hotplug scripts bring the interface up.
I use it with a netgear switch (802.11g) which support the mac-address restrictions. I was just a little disapointed to learn that encryption was not so difficult to break... but it seems to be common to all wireless device (protocol is buggy).
