[gentoo-ppc-user] Wireless, with SSID/WEP/WPA.

[David Röhr]

I've been a Debian user a long long time, and now I wanted to try out
Gentoo. Been compiling for hours now, and I also got my wireless stuff
working. But I have some questions.

Is there no way to set stuff like SSID, WEP or WPA in some configuration
file? Most of this can be done with iwconfig, but thats no joy to do on
every boot. Sure, I can make my own init.d-script that fixes the
problem, but isn't there already some net-configuration file that I can
put in my SSID, WEP or WPA-configuration? I know both WEP an WPA isn't
the most secure stuff on the planet, but I still want to use them :)

Gentoo is great btw. Works nice on my Ibook2. Still wondering why some
packages are masked as just for x86 though. They should work fine with
ppc also. Right now I'm thinking of all the bluez-packages.
