the network interface seems to be OK on eth1 with wlan_cs module
iwconfig says:
eth1 IEEE 802.11-DS (seems good...)
etc.
but I don't know how to configure the interface and it does not ping the network.
On windows client, I only configure:
access via access point
the name of access
the encryption key
and that's all
Under linux, what to do ?
I got ESSID: "not specified"
Nickname "HERMES I"
Mode: Managed
Freq: 2,457Ghz
Accesspoint 44:44:44:44:44:44
(seems to be a non recognised arp adress, no ?)
Encryption key: off
etc.
Let's say, my access point name is 3d1234
and my encryption key is: d1234
so, what to set for the iwconfig parameters ?
(or /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opt)
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionIn RedHat (8.0) /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts is ignored.
I've configured my wireless card directly through /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-wireless
(you define a couple of variables in the beginning of the shell script, like:
MODE="Managed"
ENCRYPTION="open", etc)
You can hack the file to your needs, it's just a set of iwconfig calls.
You can configure directly via iwconfig to check your settings before entering them in the script:
iwconfig eth1 mode Managed
iwconfig eth1 key open
iwconfig eth1 key "xxxx-xxxx-xx"
iwconfig eth1 essid "myessid"
[whatever else you need]
then you bring up the interface
ifconfig eth1 up
and you should get an IP (assuming you use DHCP).
Once you modify ifup-wireless you can check via
service network restart
Hope this helps

Re: configure wireless WL110 under linux
I managed to do it with iwconfig by making a new /etc/rc.d script, but your way is better
Finally, I've found another way:
you can specify wireless configuration directly in ifcfg-ethX:
wireless_essid xyz
wireless_key s:enckeyxyz
etc.

Re: configure wireless WL110 under linux
It's like that :
DEVICE=ethX
IPADDR= (...)
(...)
MODE=Managed
ESSID="network_name"
KEY="s:mykey"
