Today, I finished the LFS book, and booted into my first linux install that I
compiled myself!
Since I want to go deeper, and make it a full pledged desktop environment, I
headed over to the BLFS book. I know it sounds like I'm on the wrong mailing
list, but stick with me.
I get to a part where I have to get a patch off of the internet. I installed
wget, and when I went to download the patch, I realized that I wasn't connected
to the internet.
So, after checking through everything, I believe I set up the network card
properly, according to the LFS book. My wireless USB card is an Encore
ENUWI-ZDPR. It's a cheap little thing, but it works fine on a pre-compiled
distro.
Anyways, on boot, I noticed it said something about the interface for wlan0
doesn't exist. (I know wlan sounds like the LAN port, but it is indeed the
wireless device.)
On other distro's, I have to set it up using NDIS Wrappers. I'm not sure how
much that matters, but I figured it couldn't hurt to volunteer that information.
So basically, even though I need the internet connection for BLFS, I messed up
setting it up in LFS, thus the reason I choose this mailing list instead.
Sadly, hardwiring isn't a solution, as the router is simply too far away from
the computer.
Thanks for the help!
Also, before I forget. For /etc/resolv.conf file, what do I put in the domain
line? Would that be the IP I show the world, or what would it be?
