Thanks, That was it! I used to have eth0 and eth1 (ethernet and |
39 |
wireless) Now I have eth1 and eth2! |
40 |
|
41 |
I need to go through all the docs to really understand how to deal with |
42 |
networking. Does anybody have any good suggestions as to how to set up a |
43 |
gui to deal with networking? I would like to achieve the following: |
44 |
|
45 |
Let the users monitor all the network interfaces |
46 |
Scan for and connect to various wireless access points |
47 |
turn on/off the radio card when not in use |
48 |
|
49 |
Thanks again! |
