In a nutshell, I need to connect to my wireless network from the command line.
I normally use WPA encryption, but I can easily disable it, so assume no security at all.
This is a problem I've run into before. I'll boot SliTaz on a computer with no Ethernet adapter, run into some kind of display problem, and need to run tazx in text mode and install graphics drivers. But, because I have no wifi connection, and no way to create one, tazx is essentially useless.
Seems this should only require a few simple commands, but extensive searches have yielded no results. On Ubuntu, I believe the commands are:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "xxxxxx"
sudo dhclient wlan0
On SliTaz, the third command fails, because SliTaz uses udhcpc instead of dhclient.
I can't be the first person to have run into this problem. Any idea what the commands might be for SliTaz?
