Getting connected

Open networks

To get wireless networking working via the GUI, use the ASU software which includes the campwifi.py script. It will connect to any open (unencrypted) network.

WEP secured networks

To connect to a WEP encrypted network, you'll need to SSH into your phone and issue the following commands:

ifconfig eth0 up                                                                                                    
iwconfig eth0 essid any                                                                                             
iwconfig eth0 key 'mykey'                                                                                           
iwconfig eth0 essid 'myssid'
