I have installed LFS 6.1 on my laptop (Hyperdata no support). Works
great, really! I installed X and connect to my server through my Dlink
DWL-G650 wireless card. The problem stated with the fact that I had to
manually run iwconfig to get the card to connect to my access point. I
wrote a message about it and started to dig really deep into my system
to see why.
<snipped the logs>
So the question is, is this setup correct? How do I configure the setup
for my WIFI card if cardmgr isn't used.
I'm googleing (is that really a word yet) but I haven't found the right
thing yet.
Like I said before my system loads and works great I just have to run
iwconfig manually to get connected. How do I do this in a script?
Thanks

I experienced something like this on my laptop. However, it was in
Mandrake 10.1 and not LFS. With LFS, you probably are experiencing what
I did and also something directly related to LFS.
One of the modules has to be loaded first. I think it's yenta--there's
a Wireless HOWTO somewhere-->try ldp--where this is described. I
discovered that in LFS modprobe-preload or the modprobe script wouldn't
load the modules. I had to list the modules in /etc/sysconfig/modules.
Then the BLFS start-up scripts will load them.
Hope this at least gets you on the right track. BTW--my wireless card
worked great after I loaded the modules in the right order.
