Your point is well taken. We do need to put in a big disclaimer about the driver issues with different cards. Something like: Wireless implementation in Linux is not always easy. Earlier hardware and bleeding edge hardware may not have the appropriate drivers available. If you research and solve a problem that is not covered in the book or the wiki, we would appreciate it if you update the wiki to add what you found. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
