madwifi is only needed by you. That and many of the drivers you listed in the kernel config are user-specific. I don't see how the book is going to do this. Heavy use of the wiki will certainly be required, but there are so many "ifs" in the equation based on the chipset of the card and the bus required. > Things I haven't explored yet: encryption/keys, scripting, hotplug/udev. > This is certainly a non-trivial topic. Yes, and when a person can't possibly test very many of the thousands of different cards, and when 2 people can have the same model number of cards but with totally different chipsets and methods of setting them up things get exacerbating quickly. Kudos to you for daring to do this. :) -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
