Hi,
I have installed wpa_supplicant and changed the "country" entry
in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and also added a few lines at
the end of the file:
network={
ssid="my_essid"
psk="my_ascii_password"
priority=5
}
Then I created a symbolic link to "/etc/init.d/net.lo" called
"/etc/init.d/net.wlan0" and that was it I think ... also set
"rc_hotplug" to "net.wlan0 !net.*" in "/etc/rc.conf".
That should be all to get wireless networking going if the kernel module
for your network card is loaded and you have the firmware for it in
"/lib/firmware".
Using kernel 3.1.5 at the moment and the carl9170 driver.
