Hi --
Can somene tell me what goes on "behind the scenes" of
redhat-config-network-gui? Especially with regard to creating a new
wireless connection with this tool.
The reason I ask is, with Red Hat 9 on a Dell C640 and a Dell TrueMobile
1150 ( Lucent card, the orinoco driver works ), when I create a new
wireless connection using redhat-config-network-gui, it doesn't work.
Activating the card doesn't work, and it never gets an IP address and
never contacts the nearest WAP.
However, if I then do:
iwconfig eth1 key {OUR WEP KEY},
followed by /sbin/service network restart,
it works. However, after the next reboot, it doesn't work again, and
iwconfig shows no wep key.
Can someone tell me either a) how to fix this so it works with
redhat-config-network-gui or b) what r-c-n-g actually does, so I can fix
it myself?
Thanks,
Aaron Bennett
