Hi Mark!
The AmbiCoM WL1100C should work in Linux without any pre-configuration from WinCE.
I use the exact same card
http://www.sp-net.at/wiki/doku.php?id=prism2wifi
For WEP:
You can try to configure it like kenny, inside the /etc/network/interfaces. Or by typing these commands:
ip link set dev wifi0 up
iwconfig wifi0 essid "yourssid" key "yourhexkey" mode Managed
dhclient -v wlan0
For WPA, you need a STA firmware above 1.8.0 on your card and wpa_supplicant in Linux.
Create a configuration file
(as root
):
vi /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
and insert this
(edit ssid and key
):
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=root
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="yourssid"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
psk="yourkey"
}
Then start it with these commands:
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
dhclient wlan0

I have two usage scenarios that I will be typically using 720 in.
1) Work
At my workplace, we have a 'guest network' that is open to visitors. This is what I need to use there for 720.
I forget the exact name for system it uses
(captured xxxxxx ?
), but it is type where typically on laptop, you open a webpage and it redirects you to a webpage that you have to click on the button to 'sign in' to guest network.
2) Home
At home, I have WPA password for accessing network. So, I assume I can follow your instructions for using this network.
So, what do I do about my Work network?
And how do you recommend setting that up alongside my Home setup?
In other words, I want to use 720 at during day and then at home in evening....
Thanks.
