I'm at Panera Bread in Clearwater Mall. I can't seem to get the wireless connection
here working, although it works fine in Windows. iwlist shows that the essid is
"panera", the channel is 11, mode is managed, there is no WEP or WPA. Here is the
command I am trying:
iwconfig eth1 essid panera channel 11 mode managed
But I never get an IP address. Even if I run "dhclient eth1" I don't get any dhcp
offers. Running iwconfig shows an encryptom key in use, even though I didn't specify
one. Is there some way to disable encryption? I tried adding "key off" to the
iwconfig command above, but got an error about "off" being an unknown parameter or
something...
I'm running Ubuntu 5.04. I could never get it to run here under Warty either.
I have no problem getting my wireless connection to work at home, where I'm running
WEP and an 802.11g access point. Here at Panera it's an 802.11b access point. Is
there some config option I need to use to switch from g to b? Has anybody else been
able to get the wireless to work here?
Thanks!
Doug
