my /etc/conf.d/net has the following : |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" ) |
| 16 |
wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi" |
| 17 |
wpa_timeout_ath0=60 |
| 18 |
config_ath0=( "dhcp" ) |
| 19 |
dhcpcd_ath0="-t 10" |

in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf add the following : |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
network={ |
| 34 |
ssid="linksys" |
| 35 |
key_mgmt=NONE |
| 36 |
} |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
change linksys into the SSID you give your router. |
