 |
|
I have the infamous usb wireless networking, but I want to automate it so I dont have to do it by hand I have to do this to get it up,
modprobe at76c503-rfmd, Unplug usb and plug it back in, iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys, iwconfig wlan0 channel 6, ifconfig wlan0 up, dhcpcd wlan0
Sorry for the bad formatting, Im using Lynx and not used to it, but please how do I get it to auto do that for me? |

You could sum those commands in a bash script. Don't know if you could trigger that script afer inserting the usb-module (guess it can - udev?).
Or get tge latest "masked" baselayout. AFAIK this handles wireless devices pretty good.

Hmmm, I tried adding it to the net interface o.o;
but I guess it comes up like this in dmesg or ALT+<--
registered wlan0, net.agent add event not handled, also its calling up the .c file from /root/at76c503a/at76c503a.c I compiled from there, Was that safe? and where should I move it? |

I suggest you search on baselayout 1.11 on these forums.
With this, setting up a wireless interface is as simple as:
cd /etc/conf.d/ && cp wireless.expample wireless.wlan0 && vi wireless.wlan0 && cd /etc/init.d/ && ln -sf net.lo net.wlan0 && rc-update add net.wlan0 boot |
