[ale] Script won't assosciate my wireless?

[Robert L. Harris]

Sorry, wanted to send before I forgot :>

Linux, Debian unstable
2.6.9 Kernel
Latest KDE
Centrino Drive ipw2100-0.55

The exact command line is:

/sbin/iwconfig eth1 mode Managed essid wepkey key 66796fad63387358696e6e6763
(Obviously a diff key and SID)

If I put that command in a bash script it won't associate.  If I run it
by hand it works fine.




Thus spake Jerald Sheets (jsheets at yahoo.com):
