Hi Juuso

I followed the HowTo but this only changed step 2 below to now use:

telinit run wpa_supplicant start

Now I can use a script to do this if I have to. Just wondering if the
existing scripts have a way to do this?

Cheers
Craig

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 :)

Hi! You may find this helpful: http://wiki.sourcemage.org/Wireless_Howto

Please tell me if you find flaws of any kind in the document, I'll update it accordingly.
