connecting wirelessly via shell
I'm sorry for the noobie post, and I'm sure this forum covers this topic, but I've been searching, and I can't seem to find my answer. So here it is. I'm trying to connect to my wireless AP by shell with my macbook airport card on BackTrack 3 that I installed on my hard drive and I wanted to use my airport card to connect to the internet. How would I go about doing that?
print your ifconfig.
Sometimes I try to fit a 16-character string into an 8–byte space, on purpose.
Are you saying you want to know the commands to connect to a wireless network from shell (rather than using a GUI in X)?
If so you would use iwconfig if you use WEP, or wpa_supplicant if you use WPA
Otherwise sorry i misinterpreted your question
Thanks killadanija for your post. I've checked the link out and it seems pretty easy what I want to know will that same command work with my airport card?
Protocool I have had an amazing idea, why dont you try it

LOL, Your absolutely right and it didn't work. I mean it worked up to the last step when I entered dhcpd ath0 and I got a message saying "no subnet declaration for ath0 (0.0.0.0) ignoring request on ath0. If this is not what you want, please write a subnet declaration in your dhcpd.conf fie for the network segment to which interface ath0 is attached. Not configured to listen to any interfaces."Originally Posted by killadaninja
Well I and every other senior/mod on this site likes people to research and learn, do you know what a subnet is, now I dont want to be a spoonfeeder but ill give you this your subnet is more than likely 255.255.255.0 and the directory to which you need to alter is here. /etc/dhcpd.conf

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I know what a subnet is I didn't know where to write it. I all ways research before I ask I just had hit a wall. I have slackbook 2.0, and I'm getting the hang of the commands its just all the paths, and where things are located, and what actually goes where, but I'll get it I've came a long way in just 3 months by teaching my self with the determination, and the will to learn.
Thats all I wanted to hear protocol, ill be happy to help you anytime
