Hi,

I'm using ndiswrapper for my build in wireless network card (Acer Aspire 1700) and I've got it configured perfectly.

The only problem is that my neighbour has an unsecured wireless network and it keeps loging in on it when I start my laptop.

Now.. My question is, how exactly do I configure my eth1 network card to access my home wireless SSID 'GDI' with a WEP key
when the machine starts up? I followed the ndiswrapper howto I found though google but it's not specific enough. I googled some
more but not found anything usefull.

Can anybody with experience help me with this??

Thanks,

Kevin

You will need to change your settings in /etc/conf.d/wireless

An example might be
Code:

essid_eth1="GDI"


For more info you can refer to /etc/conf.d/wireless.example
