You also need the firmware for 3945ABG. You get the most current version from here: intellinuxwireless.org - I'm not sure why, but this site is down at this moment. I'm not sure why. You'll also need wpa_supplicant unless you are using WEP (if you are, please stop, it takes a C2D <5mins to crack a 128bit WEP key). wpa_supplicant isn't in BLFS, but it's easy to build. Get it from http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/ - build it using the defconfig and build it by following the directions. You will need gnutls ahead of time. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
