Well, it should be all downhill from here for you. :-) I'm *guessing* that the wireless is *right now* configured as eth1. (from the message above). You'll need to do everything you did for eth0 to get eth1 working on your network. I use custom network boot scripts, but I'm guessing from the looks of the LFS network scripts that you'll need to configure a ifconfig.eth1 directory and tweak the ifup/ifdown scripts to handle multiple interfaces. There should be a ton of references if you Google on how to setup a system with multiple network interfaces. Again, whatever you did for eth0, you'll want to do for eth1. Just because the network interface is wireless, it should be no different than if it were a second 100Base-T (or whatever) card. The hard part (getting Linux to recognize the wireless adapter and load the proper firmware) is done. It is just a matter of configuring to use it. I wish I could be more help, but again I use custom network scripts, so I can't provide to you the exact things required for the LFS method. Perhaps someone else can give you specific details, but just think of it a second network interface and configure it as such. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 09:41:01 up 122 days, 19:05, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.03, 0.19 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
