That's easy enough, here's what I used to use: |
| 15 |
xxxxx means the essid |
| 16 |
yyyyy means the wep passphrase |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
modules=( "dhclient" ) |
| 19 |
modules=( "iwconfig" ) |
| 20 |
config_eth0=( "dhcp" ) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
essid_wlan0="xxxxx" |
| 23 |
key_xxxxx="s:'yyyyyyyyy' enc open" |
| 24 |
preferred_aps_wlan0=( "xxxxx" ) |
| 25 |
channel_wlan0="11" |
| 26 |
config_xxxxx=( "dhcp" ) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
config_wlan0=("dhcp") |
