Hi Sergey, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Thanks for that, since my question I have found that if I enter the iwconfig |
| 4 |
command into /etc/conf.d/net it does work; i.e. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
iwconfig eth1 essid name_of_ssid |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
However I am not sure how this would work if I had a load of hidden ssids, |
| 9 |
if at all, and it does seem messy |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Is wpa_supplicant the best/only way to do this? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Please can anyone tell me how this works in ubuntu as it does seem to and I |
| 14 |
would hope that I could replicate it |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Cheers |

I have similar problem with Cisco AP and Intel 3945, D-Link |
| 43 |
DWL-G500 adapters under Gentoo/FreeBSD. Looks like it's wpa_supplicant |
| 44 |
permanent problem. Windows works fine. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
AFAIK there is no solution except using broadcasts. |
