Wireless networking in Gentoo
This is a work in progress Fire up dhcp on the wireless interface: dhcpcd eth1 (that should create the device also kinda thing)
The init script (/etc/init.d/wireless) #!/sbin/runscript # Copyright 1999-2005 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 depend() { before net.eth0 } start() { #! /bin/sh # wifi: wpa_supplicant init echo " * [Wifi]: Enabling WPA supplicant..." if [ -x /sbin/wpa_supplicant ]; then wpa_supplicant -B -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D ipw -w -dd dhcpcd eth1 fi } stop() { echo "Stop doesn't work yet!" } restart() { echo "Restart doesn't work yet!" }
rc-update add wireless default
Then we configure /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
#CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant network={ ssid="home" scan_ssid=1 proto=WPA key_mgmt=WPA-PSK psk="somepass" }
Then hope for the best I guess!
