Re: [orca-list] Connecting to a wireless network using Orca

Hi Herrmann,
Thanks for the tips. Does this work for Ubuntu as well? Debian is not
usable on the Eee yet and it'll probably take a while until the drivers
for network, sound and Wi Fi cards are included if that should ever
happen.

It should, dependant on the Debian you use. You must at least have a
file called .orbitrc in your root's directory. To check out what you
need to use such tools you must have admin privileges visit:
http://live.gnome.org/Orca/UbuntuHardy
Note: Perhaps you mustn't do all the steps explained there, but at least
that .orbitrc file is needed. When everything is set up correctly, open
a Gnome terminal and type: sudo network-admin You will be asked for your
user password, and then the admin tool shows up. Check whether your wlan
is listed and then start configuring it.
Note: I cannot give you details on this, since I don't use wlan. Hermann
