Manual wireless configuration

[parsim]

I'm having trouble connecting to my AP:

here's something I wrote awhile ago for my slackware box.

#!/bin/bash
echo "Loading modules..."
# Be sure to update these periodically
# They have had security flaws
modprobe wlan_tkip
modprobe wlan_acl
modprobe wlan_xauth
modprobe wlan_wep
modprobe ath_pci
modprobe ath_rate_sample
modprobe wlan
modprobe ath_hal

echo "Setting up card..."
ifconfig ath0 up
iwconfig ath0 essid "ssidhere"
iwconfig ath0 mode managed
# You may be able to just set the previous command to iwconfig ath0 mode auto
echo "Setting AP..."
iwconfig ath0 ap aphere

echo "Setting WEP key..."
iwconfig ath0 key keyhere

echo "Attempting to get IP via DHCP..."
dhcpcd ath0
