This seems like it should be a really simple question but ive had a quick look at iwconfig and iwprivIf but i still cant work out the answer. If there is more then one wireless ap in the area how can i select between them?
This is something thats quite simple in windows(as i saw when i gave my girlfriend a wireless card that doesn't work with Linux) and was hoping for just a command line tool or command but so far I've been out of luck :-(.
As a side question does anyone know where i might be able to find some parts for an old dell laptop(Latitude CPi D266XT)?
I've got 4 GMail accounts going free to good homes if anyone wants one?
Thanks, Dennis Dryden

"iwlist ap" should show the list of available access points (if your card supports it).
"iwconfig <card> ap <foo>" should let you set it.
Or is the APs are all different ESSIDs you can just "iwconfig <card> essid <foo>".
