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



Hi Henning,
Hmmm, this is strange. When I do iwlist wlan0 scan, it tells me that
wlan0 doesn't support scanning... So, what could I do? Is there really
no way to do it using a Gnome tool? I couldn't find anything interesting
in network-admin... Robin

Hi Robin,

Thanks for the guide so far. The problem is that this is

a laptop which I will take to many different places. Is there a way
how I can list all available networks?

as root do:
  iwlist wlan0 scan

Or to list only the found SSIDs:

  iwlist wlan0 scan | grep ESSID

Because when I go somewhere and want to connect to an
access point, I
don't know the SSID...

If an access point uses an unencrypted connection (for
example a hot-spot), the connection will be established automatically.

cheers

Btw: no need to send list mails also to me directly, I'm
reading the mailinglist. :-) And yes, the list configuration 
is right, but some mailers unfortunately lack a reply-to-list feature.
