Titolo: wireless

ho comprato una sk rete wireless con chipset atheros, il negozoante mi ha
assicurato che per linux e' una buona scelta, nel senso che " funziona
bene " . In effetti devo dire che con un pomeriggio di letture e un poco
di smanettamento sono riuscita a fare salire la sk wireless. Non mi spiego
pero' il seguente output :

per quale motivo HWaddr di wifi0 e' cosi' lungo? mica sara' ipv6? mi pare
troppo lungo lo stesso.
grazie a tutti

 per quale motivo HWaddr di wifi0 e' cosi' lungo? mica sara' ipv6? mi
quello e' il mac address della scheda, un concetto slegato (e' piu' in 
"basso" nello stack iso/osi) da ip.
e' probabilmente un pad fatto o da linux o dal driver della scheda, una 
volta che ti associ al tuo access point puoi vedere quello reale a sei 
cifre, e magari postarlo qui.
