Wifi module config in linux?

Post by sabo »

Just wondering what program to use to play with it in linux when its plugged in via the serial cable. Please dont tell me minicom :P I recall having nightmares trying to talk to modems with that many years ago!

screen can talk to serial port. Not sure anyone still supports kermit but thats an option. I don't recall any pains with minicom though.

Last time I tried to use minicom was with a laptop softmodem in my initial days of trying to use linux. It may be a little less daunting now (though I am actually having to relearn some stuff after being a slack geek for the last few years) Screen I used to use a lot for ssh, but hadn't ever used it for serial connections. Such a great program, will have a crack with it, thanks.
