Slax USB question: Wireless - do I manually set the IP address?
Hello:
I am trying to connect to the net wirelessly using Slax off my USB stick. I did the best I could using the wireless configure tool but Firefox will not surf - no connection. The configure tool shows that I am 'partly' connected in that it shows siginal strength in green but I noticed that there is no entry for IP address. Am I suppose to know this and enter it? In LMDE, I see the IP as 192.168.2.10 and other addresses. Do I need to enter this stuff? Thanks for any help, |
pinguy os is very easy to boot off usb and have all wireless drivers.

ifconfig wlan0 up wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf dhcpcd wlan0 After starting wpa_supplicant you will need to run dhcpcd in another terminal. Replace wlan0 by whatever slax is using for you iface. |
