Description Craig Andrews gentoo-dev

When I start my wireless interface (/etc/init.d/net.wlan start) the script seems to ignore my /etc/init.d/wireless preference to only connect to certain APs - It just connects to the first one it finds.

Here are the only uncommented lines from /etc/conf.d/wireless:
preferred_aps="'home' 'home-repeater'"
associate_order="forcepreferredonly"

I'm using sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.0_alpha1 - this configuration served me well under baselayout-1.

Thank you!

/etc/conf.d/wireless is deprecated and all config should be in /etc/conf.d/net.

Only baselayout-1.12 users got the warning, sorry.
