How to connect EEEPC to Neufbox wireless?

#1 Post by dam973 »

Hello,
I've been a "regular" user of puppy on my old computer (went to this forum of few times to figure out how to do stuff) and i tried to install it on a flash card to use it with my eeepc 1000H .Everything works perfect except, i tried after to connect to my neufbox (a french company web box) with the regular network stuff , it didn't work . I tried after reading a lot of topics to connect via this kind of script :

#!/bin/sh
# Edit this file to input your own WiFi values
# then save and run it in terminal to get your WiFi working!
# The file is in /root

ifconfig ra0 down
rm /etc/resolv.conf
cp /etc/resolv-home.conf /etc/resolv.conf
sleep 3
ifconfig ra0 up
sleep 3
iwconfig ra0 ap 00:25:15:20:DF:74
iwconfig ra0 essid "MYESSID"
iwconfig ra0 mode managed
iwconfig ra0 key open
iwconfig ra0 key s:"MYKEY"
sleep 1
ifconfig ra0 192.168.1.22 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.1.1 ra0
iwconfig

I click on it.

I go to iwconfig it says, i think, everything is fine!!

Ralink STA ESSID:"MYESSID" Nickname"RTxxxxxx"
Mode:Managed Frequency=2.452GHz Access Point : 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Bit Rate=54Mb/s
RTS thr:off Fragment thr :off
Encryption key : xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx

You might like to try Puppeee. It has a newer kernel that works better with the rt2860 card, and also a newer network manager (Pwireless2) that I have tested thoroughly on a 1000H. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=48288
