Sorry my comments didn't go through on that e-mail, dang web client. It |
| 2 |
sounds like this isn't going to be as painful as I anticipated, at least |
| 3 |
for the chipsets covered by the kernel. How about the ndiswrapper? Have |
| 4 |
you had any luck playing with that? It almost sounds to good to be true. |

I am considering including the package and then loading a folder with a |
| 6 |
few of the more common wifi drivers. |

Well, "net-setup eth0" works fine for manual configuration. If you're |
| 27 |
just looking for scanning, it should work by default, depending on the |
| 28 |
driver used for the card. Basically, it isn't any different than |
| 29 |
setting up regular networking. If you want the CD to have a specific |
| 30 |
ESSID/Key, then set it in /etc/conf.d/wireless in your fsscript. |
