Trying to config eth0 to use the existing wireless card to pick up the WLAN
in my home for internet access.

I've read MAN IWCONFIG and know what settings I would like. In looking
through other posts here that mention problems with setting up wireless net
access, those who help normally ask to see the output of IWCONFIG.

The MAN says that IWCONFIG is located in /proc/net/wireless/; however when I
cd to /proc/net and attempt to cd to 'wireless' I am told that 'wireless' is
not a directory.

So my first question I guess is, how do I set up eth0 with the IWCONFIG
settings that I want?

And for debugging purposes and assistance, if 'wireless' is not a directory,
how do I print the output of IWCONFIG or IWLIST so others can help me?

Thank you in advance for assistance.
