If the network is working with DHCP, than you basically need something like
the following rexxfile:
/* turn on the radio */
/* This command activates the 802.11b interface
original batch file by Neil Waldhauer
The wireless NIC should be inserted in the PC Card slot */
say "Activating the wireless network card"
' ifconfig lan0 down'
' ifconfig lan0 delete'
'dhcpmon -t'
'route -fh'
'arp -f'
'dhcpstrt -i lan1 -d 10'
say "Wireless networking enabled"
Groetjes, / Kind regards,
