[gentoo-user] Unable to set up wireless lan - followed documentation
Hey list I need some help. I am trying to set up my wireless lan on gentoo. I have recompiled kernel. Every attempt at configuring /etc/conf.d/net end in faed to configure wireless for wlan0 i have folowed the advice given when it fails and give info/advice to resolve but nothing has worked thus far. My question then is : what should the /etc/conf.d/net look like if I want to connect to dhcp enabled adsl router that does not need authenticating ? Any help would be appreiciated. I have gooogled and folowed tutorials on gentoo wiki but it didnt help at all. Thanks in advance Nelis -- Sent from my mobile device

It seems to happening a lot lately. I'm wary of retrying lest I end up on a ban list. I've retried a lot. Maybe I ended up on the ban list. What I really need to do is set up a local mirror since I've got a rack full of Gentoo servers. Use my mirror and see if things are better. It's 12 hours behind the master and I don't implement that mythical ban list: ftp://ftp.is.co.za/mirror/gentoo-portage http:// and rsync:// are also available Hi Alan Im Asking you directly as we share the same mirror and country :) Also if I need to start a new thread just let me know ... I'm posting here as it has to do with rsync so the question: How do I set up rsync on the IS mirror I tried to edit the make.conf by just adding the IS url to the rsync option and # out the other rsync server I had set up but emerge --rsync just told me that name could not be contacted my only option now is web-rsync but I'd rather use --rsync (also I'm capped on Intl so Local only bandwith here).
