Hi there anyone know what to set NWID to ? Is it the MAC address ? Windows
only needed SSID & WEP, but SuSe8.2 also wants a network ID (NWID)
identifier.

you could use 192.168.0.0/24
to describe the local network but it doesn't seem to matter:

See:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/41/2003/12/4/125506
NWID: ANY

or:
http://www.foldr.org/~michaelw/wireless.html
NWID: 0


http://www.britishsteal.com/papers/openbsd-adsl-wlan-howto.html
inet 192.168.101.254 255.255.255.0 NONE nwid <network-id> mediaopt hostap 
nwkey 0x<wep-key>
Replace <network-id> with a short string for your network, doesn't matter what 
it is.
