FDOM and WiFi

[Vince M. Clark]

Network is open and I can see it. I tried manually configuring and it sets the essid but doesn't get an IP address. Is there something else I need to do to enable dhcp?

At this point you can try manually configuring the wireless card: 

iwconfig eth0 essid linksys 

Does your network have an encryption key? How many letters? I think 
there is a bug that one letter keys don't work. 

If your network has an encryption key, I think another bug requires that 
you set the key before the ID thus: 

iwconfig eth0 key 123456789 essid linksys 

Let me know if this works and we'll update the wiki accordingly
