Download the iwconfig packages, once you got them you will have the iwconfig iwspy iwlist etc. Look for a howto to use it. Remember first to ifup wlan0. <br><br>iwlist will give you the broadcast AP, but if you want to put one manually you should use
<br><br>iwconfig wlan0 ssid "XYZ" key 1011010101AB</blockquote><div><br>Well, I installed wireless tools package and tried to use it:<br><br>ifconfig wlan0 up<br>iwconfig wlan0 enc MY_KEY mode managed essid MY_ESSID channel 6
<br><br>But I didn't see that IP address was assigned to wlan0 interface. Moreover, I add into /etc/network/interfaces following:<br>

wireless-key MY_KEY<br>
wireless-mode managed<br>
wireless-channel 6<br><br>and run <br>ifconfig wlan0 up<br><br>But also without luck.<br><br>Any ideas why?<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
