wireless networks

[Robert Cole]

What make/model of wireless network device do you have?  I have a USB
wireless adapter; hwen I first installed it, it could see the wireless
networks, but it would not connect.  I later found that I needed to
donwload/compile/install a different driver to get it up and running.

To find out information regarding your wireless connection, you can use:

iwconfig

in a terminal window.

To get a list of available wireless networks, you can use:

iwlist scanning

in a terminal window.

Hope this helps.

Take care.
