This will give you a good starting point.* Past the wicd instructions you'll see how to configure a wireless card from /etc/network/interfaces.* It's basically the same as a wired card plus some extra parameters for the wireless protection.

Hi,



I run a laptop with lenny and debian kernel 2.6.32 that runs wireless.



I connected to the laptop via USB a disk that contains a partition that also has debian kernel 2.6.32 but sid and that doesn't have network manager or wicd installed.



How would I get wireless going without them on that USB disk?



The laptop wireless module b43 gets loaded when I boot from the uSB disk.



/etc/network/interfaces has:



# The loopback network interface

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback



# The primary network interface

allow-hotplug eth0

iface eth0 inet dhcp

That's how I manage my wireless network system by integrating ifplug +
guessnet + wpa_supplicant

Very nice. But I can readily see why those network managers are needed.
Thanks

But that says to install various things, which I can't.
