| + | ===== Replacing iwconfig with iw ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Consider using iw from git | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Getting info on wlan0 ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | <code>iwconfig wlan0</code> | ||
| + | is be replaced by | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | <code>iw dev wlan0 link</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Connecting to an open network ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | <code>iwconfig wlan0 essid foo</code> | ||
| + | is replaced by | ||
| + | <code>iw wlan0 connect foo</code> | ||
| + | If you want to set the channel: | ||
| + | <code>iwconfig wlan0 essid foo freq 2432M | ||
| + | -or- | ||
| + | iwconfig wlan0 freq 2432M | ||
| + | iwconfig wlan0 essid foo</code> | ||
| + | you instead simply use | ||
| + | <code>iw wlan0 connect foo 2432</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Connecting to a protected network ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | For WPA/WPA2 encryption, you have to use wpa_supplicant. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For WEP protection, you can use | ||
| + | <code>iw wlan0 connect foo keys 0:abcde d:1:0011223344</code> | ||
| + | instead of | ||
| + | <code>iwconfig wlan0 key s:abcde | ||
| + | iwconfig wlan0 key '[2]0011223344' | ||
| + | iwconfig wlan0 key '[2]' | ||
| + | iwconfig wlan0 essid foo</code> | ||
| + | Note that <code>iwconfig</code> uses 1-based key numbers and <code>iw</code> uses 0-based key numbers like the 802.11 standard. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Join an IBSS (ad-hoc network) ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | <code>iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc | ||
| + | iwconfig wlan0 essid foo-adhoc</code> | ||
| + | in iw: | ||
| + | <code>iw wlan0 set type ibss | ||
| + | iw wlan0 ibss join foo-adhoc 2412</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Leave an IBSS (ad-hoc network) ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | <code>iwconfig wlan0 essid off</code> | ||
| + | **might** work, but doesn't always work properly. | ||
| + | |||
| + | in iw, it will always work: | ||
| + | <code>iw wlan0 ibss leave</code> | ||
