How to tell if data-level wireless link is up?

Hi all,

 

Does the signal information output from iwconfig imply that the data-level link is working? I'd like to know if the fact that iwconfig gives a signal quality means that the card is setup correctly and is capable of transmitting data. Iwspy <my wirelesscard> says that there are no statistics to monitor.

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers,

Dan

As I know from experience, the signal quality doesn't necessarily mean thet you can connect using your card.

 

The most common problem (I have heard) is firewall setup - I certainly encountered it when trying to get wireless working. You may need to change your firewall to connect via the wireless card instead of a wired connection.
