Hello Everyone,

I'd like to help with implementing wireless support for the linux boot disk -- specifically wireless usb and pcmcia devices. I'm curious as to what everyone's thoughts are on the issue. What steps need to be taken to get wireless working?

As far as I can tell:
1) the hardware detection need to be extended to USB and PCMCIA devices
2) iwconfig and related utils need to be put on the disk, and more importantly -- the disk needs to be built to site specific ESSID/WEP parameters (or else it will have to ask about them in the master script)
3) we need an an easy way to add 3rd party modules --- many wireless cards have their own drivers independent of the kernel.


What else?

Thanks,
Christian Betz
