setwep: command not found

Forum thread started by nauska on Tue, 2011-01-04 10:11

I just installed r40074 (GCC 4 Hybrid) on my EeePC 701 and I want to connect to my wireless network. According to [1] I should just type

setwep /dev/net/atheroswifi/0 haikuwifi 0x3456789abc

to connect (with my SSID and key ofcourse), but this gives me

bash: setwep: command not found

How should I proceed from here to be able to connect to my wireless network?

setwep was removed from image because now Haiku handles this directly. I don't use wireless so can't help anymore than this.

That wireless guide needs to be updated with new method!

Thank you for that information!

I cannot find where this "interfaces settings file" refered to in changeset 39796 is located. Any help here would be appreciated :)

Edit: I found it. It was mentioned in one of Axel's blog posts [2]. However, I did not get it to work. Will try some more in a few days when I return home.

Well, I found out from another thread [3] that Haiku is unable to connect to ad-hoc networks, hence my problem.
