 |
|
Guys/Gals,
I am using iwconfig to configure my wireless device (eth1) once my laptop has booted and that all works fine however when it boots I get some random configuration, where would the proper place be to stick the configuration like ssid, key, mode etc. so that it's configured properly when it's started by init scripts.
Thanks,
Brian

In
Note that if you want to launch that script at booting you need to | Code: | | rc-update add default net.eth1 |

yes but what are the entries?
mode_eth1 = Managed
key_eth1 = key
like that?

Ohh,

more or less. Like this (as example):
| Code: | modules_eth1=( "iwconfig" )
ifconfig_eth1="dhcp"
dhcpcd_eth1="-HD"
mode_eth1="managed"
essid_eth1="test"
channel_eth1="11"
key_test="0123...xx" |
You can check what you want in | Code: | | /etc/conf.d/net.example |
