I still remember

I still remember how I felt that September 24th 2005 at 8p.m. Time goes by . . . wish'em to be all right. Happiness and good memories CPMF & JCA.

First Wireless PCMCIA on ubuntu

My girlfriend Lizzy gave me as a gift a wireless card for my laptop. It is a DWL-G630 Dlink AirPlus G. At the beginning it didn't work. When I opened the System/Networking menu and activated the interface, it just hanged and the whole system hanged. I decided not to use the graphical interface and configured it manually with iwconfig.

First of all, set the network name. As my network name is ASD, then I typed:

iwconfig ra0 essid ASD

Then I set an IP for the connection

ifconfig ra0 192.168.0.7 netmask 255.255.255.0

Then I defined the standard network configuration:

echo "nameserver 192.168.0.1" > /etc/resolv.conf
route add default gw 192.168.0.1

since 192.168.0.1 is the address of my access point.

Then I verified the mac address with

ifconfig ra0

and set up access control in my access point to allow connection from the laptop.

Additionally, I set up wap encryption and it gave me a 64 bit key:

XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

To configure it for my PCMCIA, I wrote

iwconfig ra0 key XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

That was it. It worked perfectly .. . I am posting from it.

Hope it may be useful.

Things

There are more important things to think about . . . I just want to say that zeez needs us and has us. We are with him in spirit and mind.

Today I did a terrible mistake when greeting a very important person . . . just wanted to remember it by stating it here. . . hee he, hope he will forget about it
