[lfs-support] ifup--a really uninformed question

It has been so very, very long since I have worked with the bootscripts. I have just forgotten. Please pardon this really basic question. If I want to bring up my wireless card, will work backwards, using the service scripts in /etc/sysconfig, or do I need to run 'ifup' twice? I have all

Just an additional note: using UEFI as my bootloader menu allowed me to dualboot. Both the kernel/GRUB and Windows bootloader are just executables on the EFI partition. Doing it that way removes the headache of chaining or your bootloader getting overwritten (I'm looking at you, Windows 7). -- h

I use UEFI by putting the kernel and an (optional) initrd in the EFI partition. The kernel has EFI stubs if you enable the option. You can pass kernel parameters in the UEFI boot entry or put them in the kernel itself. Both options are available towards the bottom of 'Processor type and features'
