I was trying to build and use this, but there are various issues. For instance, the WIFI_ENABLE, WPA_ENABLE, and WPA_KEY variables are left out of /etc/rc.conf. Also, the canned /stat/etc/hostapd.conf has the bridge and interface hard-coded into it. Also, does it make sense to have $AP0 and $ATH0 *both* set? Or should this be either/or? The links in /etc/runlevels/default/S??hostap are missing, so /etc/init.d/hostap never gets run. From what I can, you also can't have one key set for $AP0, and another for $AP1, etc. Is there a reason to not just have: ATH0="wifi0:ssid:channel:enc-method:enc-key-#:passkey" for instance? -Philip ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list Astlinux-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
