Hi
If you want to use DHCP you could go for something like:
allow-hotplug wlan1 iface wlan1 inet auto wpa-driver wext wpa-ssid Your SSID wpa-psk yourwpakey
Thanks for this.
A iwconfig suggests that my wireless adapter is wlan0. So I tried:
allow-hotplug wlan1 iface wlan1 inet auto wpa-driver wext wpa-ssid Your SSID wpa-psk yourwpakey
obviously with my SSID and my wpa-psk.
when I: /etc/init.d/networking restart
I get:
/etc/network/interfaces:19: unknown method
Line 19 for me is:
iface wlan1 inet auto
If I change that too:
iface wlan1 inet dhcp
Then I can restart nextworking, but there's no sign of wlan0. If I change too:
auto wlan1
Aren't you meant to be configuring wlan0? Why do you have wlan1 then?
iface wlan1 inet dhcp wpa-driver wext wpa-ssid Your SSID wpa-psk yourwpakey
and restart networking wlan0 tries to connected, but I get:

I'm still completely lost here......
