I've had some success with the wireless. I can now communicate via a
wireless card on a LFS system. I've got a built in card and an
external PCMCIA card, but I've only checked out the PCMCIA card for now.

For the record, this is what I found out:

This is overkill most of the time. This is what my system does when it
udev sees ath0. This can probably be easily incorperated into the
bootscripts, I'll play around with it.

Sometimes the cluebat needs to be applied more than once. Thanks.
I will take a look at wpa_supplicant, but I also note that that the
manwifi package includes a program called athkey

I'm happy because i'm sitting on my couch downstairs writing this email.
I attached the wireless script which is to be placed in
/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/services and chmoded +x. I have not
implemented WPA yet because I havn't had a chance to invade my friend
and play with his network yet.

I forgot one thing. The ESSID_OVERRIDE env variable can be set to
override whatever ESSID is in the config or whatever was scanned. I
added this in because I know when I'm at my friends house or somewhere

ESSID_OVERRIDE=new_ssid su -c /etc/sysconf

I'm trying to get my foomagic wireless card working IAW the BLFS book,
but I can't seem to get it. I tried everything in the book, and I've

foomagic web site
