Hi all. I am trying to do something similar, except that the last 3 lines are causing some problem. If I just type the in on a shell, it gives me an error messsage about unknown variables. One thing that isn't clear in the wi manpages is where these statements need to go? I assume it is in some conf file or rc.* file, but it didn't say specifically. Maybe the wireless setup guide that someone mentioned they would post has these details. If not, I would appreciate it if someone could drop me a note with more details on the proceedure. I might even document it if I get enough info. Thanks, Chris --- Dan Langille <dan@langille.org> wrote: > I have both a wireless NIC (wi0) and an ethernet card (ed1) for my > laptop.
