The thing I'm confused about is how I can get anything back to the |
| 11 |
laptop when it won't even have an OS on it. I could boot a LiveCD but |
| 12 |
I don't think I'll be able to connect to the wireless network. The |
| 13 |
laptop's card is a madwifi/ath0. When booted into the LiveCD, lspci |
| 14 |
does recognize the card but there is no net.ath0 interface. I don't |
| 15 |
have any ethernet connectivity to the Gentoo router since I don't have |
| 16 |
a crossover cable. |
