G'day again Daniele, |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
This is great - it looks like the module, on the face of it, is working |
| 62 |
and it looks like you've probably got your SSID and encryption keys set |
| 63 |
etc. A good place to look to check what you've done is |
| 64 |
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Wireless_Configuration_and_Startup. |
| 65 |
Personally I've gone with wpa_supplicant to handle my connection. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
I would hazard a guess that if you did "ifconfig rausb0 <ip address>" |
| 68 |
you would almost be in business at this point. Ideally you would want |
| 69 |
this to dhcp up. I do that with wpa_supplicant and ifplugd controlling |
| 70 |
my network interfaces (including the wireless) which is nice for |
| 71 |
laptops. ifplugd starts /etc/net.eth* when it detects a link is up in |
| 72 |
which case it then looks to my /etc/conf.d/net which says (eth1 is my |
| 73 |
wireless interface). |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
config_eth1=( "dhcp" ) |
| 76 |
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" ) |
| 77 |
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dwext" |
| 78 |
