wlanctl-ng ... what is it and where can I get it?

[Roger Scow]

Okay, still not working, but progress made:


I managed to get wlanctl-ng activated and now have wlan0 up.  The LED on
the MA111 is blinking.  ifconfig says this:

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:09:5B:68:C2:94
          inet addr:198.203.199.145  Bcast:198.203.199.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::209:5bff:fe68:c294/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:26 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:2904 (2.8 KiB)
and /etc/network/interfaces says this:

 # The wireless network interface
     auto wlan0
     iface wlan0 inet static
        # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if
installed
        dns-nameservers 66.196.0.1

        wireless_keymode
        wireless_essid KDC1
        name Wireless LAN card
        address 198.203.199.145
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 198.203.199.255
        network 198.203.199.0
        gateway 198.203.199.99

and the command ifup says this:

ifup: interface wlan0 already configured

BUT, the wireless level gadget at the top of the desktop still says
"N/A" and "No Wireless Devices."

Device Manager says that a Netgear USB device is detected.

So, I'm still missing something.  Any ideas?
