The first time I tried this I had been working with Linux for about two months and only used Ubuntu, so I was still pretty green (and I still am, I sometimes think). So it’s not a shortcoming of the wiki really, it was more my inexperience. :roll:

Having said that, it might be helpful to approach it in a step-by-step fashion, saying “First, enter an iwconfig command, and see what interfaces have been assigned to your card. Now enter them in these lines where you see XXXX and YYYY. …”

It’s a noob issue … but to be honest, sometimes I still have to run back to my little scrap of paper to make sure I get the wifi0 and wlan0 in the right places.

If it’s missing something we could add it.
