Hi All

I am relatively new to setting up a wireless connection and have hit a snag
as to how to do it the SourceMage way.

I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 which uses the ipw3945 driver.

Currently I am doing the following steps to get my access to work:

1. modprobe ipw3945 (this has been cast and installed)
2. wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -ieth2 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant
3. dhcpd eth2

Now while I am happy that this works, I wanted to know what the secret 
is to getting
either netconf or wpa_supplicant scripts to do this for me (or is some 
combination of the
2 are required, what that would be)

I would appreciate if someone would point me in the right direction :)

Craig
