[NBLUG/talk] SSID and wlan-ng drivers?

[Mark Street]

Found the command line tool for wlan-ng.....

wlancfg wlan0 set
dot11DesiredSSID=YOURID
^D

DONE....

check out 

wlancfg wlan0 list for more options.


I have compiled hostap, loaded the modules with my pcmcia services and played 
with it but have not got it to work with my AP yet with encryption.  I think 
I need an opts file to tweak on.
