Hi, |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I have installed wpa_supplicant and changed the "country" entry |
| 29 |
in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and also added a few lines at |
| 30 |
the end of the file: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
network={ |
| 33 |
ssid="my_essid" |
| 34 |
psk="my_ascii_password" |
| 35 |
priority=5 |
| 36 |
} |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Then I created a symbolic link to "/etc/init.d/net.lo" called |
| 39 |
"/etc/init.d/net.wlan0" and that was it I think ... also set |
| 40 |
"rc_hotplug" to "net.wlan0 !net.*" in "/etc/rc.conf". |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
That should be all to get wireless networking going if the kernel module |
| 43 |
for your network card is loaded and you have the firmware for it in |
| 44 |
"/lib/firmware". |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Using kernel 3.1.5 at the moment and the carl9170 driver. |
