Hi<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I'm trying to connect to my wireless network at home from the command line on a machine that isn't running X. These are the steps that I have taken so far:</div>
<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>1 Make sure my wireless adaptor is recognised:</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>iwconfig </div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div>
<div>Recognises the RaLink RT2860 adaptor in my netbook correctly (designated ra0)</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>2. Scan for wireless network:</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div>
<div>iwlist ra0 scan </div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Correctly sees my sky router and tells me that it is using WPA encryption.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>3. This is where it seems to go wrong, when I try to connect using the following command</div>
<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>iwconfig ra0 essid "SKYRouter" key s:mywirelesskey</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I get no output following the command so assume it has worked but cannot ping the router and have no IP address.</div>
<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Can anybody help me out with what I'm doing incorrectly?</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder">
</div><div>Thanks</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Simon <br></div>
