I think I read that hint when I needed to get wireless working on my netbook but I didn't find it to be a lot of use. I found the README in the wpa_supplicant source (wpa_supplicant-0.6.10/wpa_supplicant/README) to be a lot more useful. Also the man page is worth reading. For what it's worth I get the network connection working with this bootscript #!/bin/bash ip addr add 192.168.1.4 dev wlan0 ip link set wlan0 up wpa_supplicant -B -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 -Dwext ip route add 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 Andy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
