Hello.
I have SBC/Yahoo! DSL with a 2wire 1701HG wireless/wired router/modem
that has 4 ethernet connectors and 1 USB connector.
AFAICT, Linux does not support the USB connection and
I don't have a spare PCI slot for an ethernet NIC, but I do have
an Atmel-based USB wireless adapter with a Linux driver
However, I can't figure out how to get the Atmel wireless adapter
and the 1701HG to talk to each other.
Here is the shell script I am using:
--------------- quote ---------------
# commands common to host and clients:
iwconfig wlan0 essid 2WIRE616
iwconfig wlan0 nick big_slakware
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
iwconfig wlan0 key restricted xxxxxxxxxx (10 digits)
iwconfig wlan0 ap auto
sysctl -w net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all=0
# commands specific to clients:
route add default wlan0
route add default gw 192.168.1.64
# this should be the last line in this file.
-------------- unquote ---------------------
and here is /etc/resolv.conf
-------------- quote -----------
nameserver 192.168.1.254
#
# in client mode, named must be stopped.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
search
-------------- unquote ---------
Should this work? If not, why not? If so, why doesn't it?
Helpful suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
