This is just a script which brings down the wired LAN0 and starts dhcp on LAN1.
We needed this before WLAN, and I'm not sure yet how to get WLAN to work. Your
previous e-mail had a method A and a method B for using a wired LAN0 and a
wireless LAN1, but I haven't thought about how to use that on my computer.
The script I wrote has been distributed on this list a few times before, but
I'll include it one more time, this time for use with WLAN:
/* turn on the radio
* This command activates the 802.11b interface
*
* The wireless NIC should be inserted in the PC Card slot
*/
wifiProg = 'e:\programs\Ambicom\WifiStat.Exe'
say "Activating the wireless network card"
'@ net stop messenger /y'
'@ net stop req /y'
'@ ifconfig lan0 down'
'@ ifconfig lan0 delete'
'@ dhcpmon -t'
'@ route -fh'
'@ arp -f'
'@ dhcpstrt -i lan1 -d 0'
/* '@ start' wifiProg */
'@ start dhcpmon'
say "Wireless networking enabled"
