手头有一块无线网卡,升级到ubuntu8.04之后就再没试过,今天心血来潮又尝试了一下,总算是成功了,特此记录如下。
环境
环境
操作系统:ubuntu 8.04.1
型号:TP-LINK TL-WN510G
芯片: Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 802.11bg NIC (rev 01)
速率:54Mbps
支持协议:802.11g
1.插入无线网卡
查看一下网络设置,看看是否多出来了两个设备
jim@jim-laptop:~$ ifconfig
ath0 Link encap:以太网 硬件地址 00:19:e0:85:73:70

只要看见ath0就说明网卡设备设别出来了,ath0就是无线网卡设备的名字了,至于那个wifi0是个什么东东,不好意思,本人才疏学浅不知道。
2.确认无线网卡的型号
jim@jim-laptop:~$ lspci
......
0b:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 802.11bg NIC (rev 01)
上面的 Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 802.11bg NIC 就是无线网卡芯片的型号了,其中 Atheros是芯片制造商的名字。
3.打开无线网卡电源
jim@jim-laptop:~$ sudo iwconfig ath0 txpower on
jim@jim-laptop:~$
4.检索区域内的无线网络
jim@jim-laptop:~$ iwlist ath0 scan

我附近有三个无线AP,ESSID所标记的就是无线AP的名字了,其中有两个无线AP都叫做 TP-LINK,另一个叫linksys,记下这几个无线AP的名字,一会得挨个试。
5.连接无线AP
jim@jim-laptop:~$ sudo iwconfig ath0 essid "linksys"
jim@jim-laptop:~$ ifconfig
不管连上还是连不上都不会给出任何提示,到底连没连上还需要使用命令查看一下才行
ath0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"linksys" Nickname:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate:0 kb/s Tx-Power:18 dBm Sensitivity=1/1
Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=0/70 Signal level=-95 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:8172 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
上面的黑体字的部分说明没有连接成功,也许是这个AP设置了密码,没关系再换一个就是了。
jim@jim-laptop:~$ sudo iwconfig ath0 essid "TP-LINK"
jim@jim-laptop:~$ ifconfig
执行后再查看一下接入状态
jim@jim-laptop:~$ iwconfig ath0
ath0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"TP-LINK" Nickname:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:1D:0F:4D:8B:E4
Bit Rate:36 Mb/s Tx-Power:18 dBm Sensitivity=1/1
Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=26/70 Signal level=-69 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:8268 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
ok,总算是连上了。
注意:如果连接AP需要密码,而你确实也知道AP的密码,那么可以用下面的办法连接
假设密码是 123456789,密码需要四位一组用”-“分开。
jim@jim-laptop:~$ sudo iwconfig ath0 essid "TP-LINK" key 1234-5678-9
6.启用无线网卡
jim@jim-laptop:~$ sudo ifconfig ath0 up
7.设置无线网卡采用dhcp方式自动获取ip
jim@jim-laptop:~$ sudo dhclient ath0

现在就可以拔掉网线,使用无线网卡上网了。
8.断开网络
如果需要断开网络,可以使用下面的命令
jim@jim-laptop:~$ sudo ifconfig ath0 down
