Ok, I found out that I cannot use a cardbus card for now, so trying to
figure out if I can use my orinoco siver 802.11b pcmcia card. This card
initiallizes fine, I see a power led, and makes a startup beep. Now I am
trying to figure out how to specify the encryption and other settings so it
can connect to the residential gateway access point (RG-1000). I read
somewhere to create the file listed below, change the approprite settings,
and then place it in /etc folder. Now my question is, how does this file
get called or run? I tried running it manually by ./setup-wi0, but it would
return an error message saying " sed: option requires an argument -- e" and
the name of my access point not found. I know my access point works since i
can see if fine under win2k. If anyone can point me to good directions or
know any solution, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

#
# Configuration variables:
# IFC is the wavelan interface to use (e.g., "wi0"); this must be
# specified:
IFC=wi0
# STATION_NAME is, well, the "station name", which is really only used
# by the WaveLan diagostic tools. When using the tools (in a remote
# PC -- not this one), the tools will display this name when
# identifying the WaveLan card in this system. Because it`s only used
# by remote diagnostic tools, it`s not essential to set SYSTEM_NAME.
# However, it is recommended that, if it is set, it be set to be the
# same as the hostname (otherwise, you`ll have to remember which
# station name goes with which hostname).
#
# Note, however, that the following uses `hostname` as the default.
# This may not work if this script is called at bootup (especially
# when called from pccard.conf), because the hostname may not yet have
# been set. In this case, you should hardcode a value here.
STATION_NAME=`hostname | sed -e `s/..*$//``
# NETWORK_NAME is the name of the network that you wish to join (be a
# part of). NETWORK_NAME must be set if you wish this system to talk
# to a WaveLan access point. The NETWORK_NAME can be "ANY"
# (upper-case is required), in which case the card will talk to any
# access point; otherwise, NETWORK_NAME must be set to the same name
# used by the access point. If you are using "ad-hoc mode" (not using
# an access point), which generally is the case with an home LAN, you
# do not need to set NETWORK_NAME (because ad-hoc mode ignores the
# NETWORK_NAME).
NETWORK_NAME=`ANY`
# MODE determines how the WaveLan card talks to other cards. If you
# are using a WaveLan access point, you must set this to "1" (BSS
# mode), and you must also set a valid NETWORK_NAME (above), as the
# NETWORK_NAME must correspond to the name used by the access point.
# For LANs without an access point (the usual case for home LANs),
# MODE should be "3" (ad-hoc mode).
MODE=3 # 1 --> BSS, 3 --> ad-hoc mode
# CHANNEL is the frequency channel to use. The default for cards sold
# in the USA and Europe (except France) is channel 3, 11 in France,
# and 14 in Japan. Valid channels are:
#
# USA: 1-11
# Europe (except France): 1-13
# France: 10-13
# Japan: 14 (only -- unchangeable)
#
# See wicontrol(8) for more information.
CHANNEL=3 # Card default is channel 3
# KEY is the encryption key to use. If KEY is blank/empty or not set,
# the encryption key is not set, and encryption will not be enabled.
# If a key is specified here, encryption will be enabled (this script
# does not support enabling/disabling encryption independently of key
# values). Note that, although the wavelan supports up to four
# different keys (but only one can be used at any one time), only one
# key (key 1) is used here.
#
# Remember that all systems that talk to each other must use the same
# key.
#
# See wicontrol(8) for valid key values.
KEY=
#
# End of configuration variables. Nothing should have to be changed
# past this point.
