My machine is a Thinkpad X61s, on which I'm running sidux.
I am able to see an AP, I assume:
# iwlist scan
...
Cell 02 - Address: 00:18:3F:1B:32:E1
ESSID: "2WIRE744"
Mode: Master
Channel: 6
Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6)
Quality=100/100 Signal level=-54 dBm Noise level=-94dBm
Encryption key: on
Bit rates:1 Mb/s ... 54 Mb/s
Extra:tsf=000000786a67d48
The encryption key may be causing me a problem, but otherwise assume this
looks good.
But no connection to the router:
# iwconfig wlan0 essid "2WIRE744"
[nothing returned]
# iwconfig
...
wmaster no wireless extensions
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"2WIRE744"
...
Encryption key::3ADA...4F
Link Quality=97/100 ...
Rx invalid nwid:0
