to set up wifi, you need to make sure the proper driver module is loaded on startup, and then double check the output of iwconfig to make sure it created a usable interface (usually ath0 or wifi0 or something like that)
then you need to bring the interface up
sudo ifconfig <interface here> up
connect to the network (if you have a wep network with a key)
sudo iwconfig ath0 essid <essid here> key <key here>
if you dont have a password on your network, you can omit the key entry
if your key is in ascii, do this:
sudo iwconfig ath0 essid <essid here> key s:<ascii key here>
if you have wpa, you better google it as its more complicated
then dhcp the interface:
dhcpcd <interface here>
then it should work
OR
you can just install u/k/xbuntu and have network manager take care of all this for you.......
and to run open arena with no GUI, you should just cd to the directory its in, then run the script that runs the game,the command should be like ./openarena (or whatever the name of the file is called)
im not sure if the game will even work without a gui, cause doesn't it require X?
