Fast questions (email, GPRS, WiFi...)

[Russell Sears]

I do this:

ifdown eth0
iwconfig eth0 essid "TheEssid" && ifup eth0 && ifdown usb0

I haven't setup wpa or even wep though...

- What does iwconfig say before you do udhcpc?  Did the card associate 
with the access point (non-zero link quality)?  Did the card discover 
the access points MAC address?

- What does "ifconfig -a" say after udhcpc?  "route -n"?
