Hi,
   I'm attempting to get wireless up and running. First time on
Gentoo. I have used ndiswrapper on FC2 which this machine used to run
so I have ESSIDs, mac addresses and keys that are known good.

   I've emerge the wireless-tools stuff and have an edited
/etc/conf.d/wireless file with my values in it. ndiswrapper is
modprobed and ready to go. Now I want to start net.wlan0 but I don't
have a file in /etc/init.d and nothing shows up in rc-update.

   What am I missing here? Am I supposed to make some edits to
/etc/conf.d/net? That might make sense but I'm not sure what to do. If
so where do I get /etc/init.d/net.wlan0? Copy net.eth0 and rename?

   My goal here is to be able to say:

/etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start

and be able to switch between interfaces.

   Thanks in advance. I've been searching around for info but just
haven't found the right thing.

Cheers,
Mark
