Is there a way to manually connect (using Konsole) to a wireless network? My wireless card appears to be seeing wireless networks, but KwifiManager doesn't report them properly. I've seen from other posts that Kwifimanager doesn't really work that well.
When I enter: iwlist scanning
I get a Mac address, Essid, connection strength, etc
Is there a command something like: iwconfig ath0 "essid" up ?
FYI - using atheros wifi card, madwifi driver. Fedora Core5, KDE desktop (don't have kNetworkManager. Once I get on the net, I'm planning to yum it!)
