/etc/network/interfaces
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
You can now add extra statements to the iface sections of the files in
|
|
/etc/network/interfaces that are specific for wireless interfaces. They are of
|
|
the form:
|
|
|
|
wireless-<function> <value>
|
|
|
|
After the interface is brought up, such a statement will result in the
|
|
execution of the following command:
|
|
|
|
iwconfig <interface> <function> <value>
|
|
|
|
Note that there may be some drivers that only accept wireless configuration if
|
|
the interface is down. In that case, configuration from /etc/network/interfaces
|
|
may fail.
|
|
|
|
If you bring the interface down, then for each wireless-<function> statement
|
|
given it will execute a corresponding iwconfig command that reverts that
|
|
function back to sane defaults. For example, if you specified a wireless-key,
|
|
if you run ifdown it will set the wireless key to "off".
|
|
|
|
If you want to specify a nick, nwid or essid with spaces in them, you must not
|
|
surround them with quotes.
|
|
|
|
To specify multiple keys the following statements are also available:
|
|
|
|
wireless-key<number> <key>
|
|
wireless-defaultkey <number>
|
|
wireless-keymode restricted|open
|
|
|
|
To fine-tune power management the following statements are also available:
|
|
|
|
wireless-powerperiod <period>
|
|
wireless-powertimeout <timeout>
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
iface eth0 inet static
|
|
address 192.168.1.2
|
|
network 192.168.1.0
|
|
netmask 255.255.255.0
|
|
broadcast 192.168.1.255
|
|
wireless-essid Home
|
|
wireless-mode ad-hoc
|
|
|
|
Example of multiple keys:
|
|
|
|
wireless-key1 0123-4567-89ab-cdef
|
|
wireless-key2 12345678
|
|
wireless-key3 s:password
|
|
wireless-defaultkey 2
|
|
wireless-keymode open
