Usually the interface name for wireless devices is wlan0, wlan1, etc. It isn't so much about the version of Linux as it is the Kernel version you are running and if it has native support for your hardware. As far as getting wireless working once you have the appropriate driver is called a "wireless connection manager". One that comes to mind is called wicd. Hope this helps a bit.

I got ACID installed using a hardwire internet connection. Now I need to eliminate the hardwire connection and use the internal wireless NIC card in the pc box. I need to have the ssid and network password and gateway adddresses setup so when acid boots asterisk the network is logged into. how do I do this with acid / centos? thanks 73 Neil K8IT Allstar node 41838 or Echolink k8it-L
