Is there some way of getting rid of wifiX? I assume it's just the same
as my ethX and I find it confusing.
I'm guessing the device in question is a cisco wifi card. In that case,
you can't get a rid of wifiX. It's not exactly the same as ethX- you
use ethX for normal use and wifiX for monitoring (kismet, ethereal, and
friends). I don't know why it's that way- it just is.
I hate it how dhclient slows down my boot when there is no network
plugged into my T30. I think there is a package to do that. Any
recommendations?
Yes, there is a package for that- look into laptop-net. Among other
things, it will get your dhcp address only when a cable is plugged in,
and it can do a whole lot of auto-configuration stuff. I use it quite a
bit, and love it.
Best wishes,
