- /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>
-
- Before the interface is brought up, such a statement will result in the
- execution of the following command:
-
- iwconfig <interface> <function> <value>
-
- 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 finetune powermanagement the following statments 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
