If you're just using WEP, then you don't really need anything other than wireless_tools. Of course you also want dhcpcd if you're connecting via dhcp, but that's actually separate from the wireless settings. Just install wireless_tools (see BLFS) and type "iwconfig [wlan0] essid [SSIDof_your_router] enc [encryption_key]" before bringing up your network connection - and maybe add that to your network startup script. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
