Wireless on Slackware
Ok, so I finally got my wireless working on slackware. Trouble is, I don't really understand what I'm doing. I'm currently root and in order to get wireless, I first have to:
wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext -wanl0
then:
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 wlan0_start
If I do the second line first, I get time-out, no connection.
So my questions are 1) is there a better way to do this (am I having some kind of conflict between config files)?
2) can I automate this on startup?
3) can I automate this for another account besides root?
