Re: Connecting to one of available networks on boot

[Christopher Zimmermann]

I tried it using the ifstated approach, but it didn't work as I
hoped it would. So I just wrote a small sh script and put it in
/etc/wlan and sourced that from /etc/rc right after /etc/netstart
is run.
The only thing I find funny is that the network link only comes
up after I have run the 'ifconfig iwi0 scan' a second time. See
below.
