Just a heads up. Thanks again. holy crap thank you for writing this, i’ve been trying to figure out for too long how to connect via command line (downloaded something that messed up too many configs and couldn’t get updates cause i couldn’t connect to net). also, just to mention, if the line:

The last command should read chmod u+x wireless_up.sh (No disrespect meant. Just trying to help people who maybe new to linux. I still have a long ways to go myself) Just for somebody reading this who may not know any better and come along later and copy and paste the commands as is and then it doesn’t work, or you get an error saying command not found.

I did download the latest build of Intel's 4965 driver for Linux, and I think I implemented it properly, but I just don't see how to do this. I hope it isn't something completely obvious that I should have noticed immediately. Well to be a little more precise, the Intel wireless driver for Windows allows you to do this.

I've been Googling for quite some time now on a couple of issues and unfortunately am not coming up with answers. Hoping someone may be able to offer some guidance. First issue is that I have an Intel 4965agn card. Both at work and home I only connect to a 5Ghz 802.11n network. In Windows I'm able to turn off the 2.4Ghz radio, but I've yet to find a way to do this in Linux. The second issue is that at work I use the wireless on one network and my wired on a completely separate network. I can't seem to find a way to keep both interfaces up at the same time. All of my search efforts on this particular issue inevitably result in a bunch of hits revolving around automatic switching from one to the other or turning your computer into a router. Any help or even just a link to something would be greatly appreciated. As always, very nice article.
