- Feb 03 13:11:04 <bluetape> you need ifconfig -a to see it
- Feb 03 13:11:33 <bluetape> just do ifconfig eth2 up by itself
- Feb 03 13:12:47 <hammer2> ok so open a fresh term then
- Feb 03 13:12:49 <hammer2> ?
- Feb 03 13:13:01 <hammer2> then ifconfig eth2 up

- Feb 03 13:19:17 <hammer2> now it dont
- Feb 03 13:20:36 <bluetape> yeah, because you're using a different driver now

- Feb 03 13:22:38 <hammer2> what if i unplug and went dhclient eth2
- Feb 03 13:22:41 <bluetape> you should use your distro's config tools to try to config the interface now
- Feb 03 13:22:52 <bluetape> that won't work because you need to associate to an AP first
- Feb 03 13:23:03 <hammer2> ok how do i get there
- Feb 03 13:23:06 <bluetape> though dhclient might be able to take it up properly
- Feb 03 13:23:07 <hammer2> the tool things
- Feb 03 13:23:11 <bluetape> so maybe you should try that
- Feb 03 13:23:16 <hammer2> ok ill try
- Feb 03 13:26:17 <bluetape> and then do iwlist eth2 scan in another window while dhclient is running
