Linux and Wireless networking

Anyone know how to configure a Linksys WPC11 Version 1 to change SSID and enter in WEP Passphrase in Debian?

Is this even possible? If so, how did you get it to work? Are there different wireless cards you would recommend?

Sorry for putting this in OT mods, but it was a toss up between Software, OS, and Networking and I did not know which one would best answer my questions.

Some good info there, but I have the card working already. Plus mine is Version 1. I just need to figure out what file to edit in order to enable WEP and ssid.

If it's anything like my wireless card, you use the iwconfig tool.

Here's a sample command:

iwconfig eth1 essid "MisterRouter" key "1234567890"

Run man iwconfig for more details or Google it.

Now I just need to figure out how to get the wep key.🙁
