Following this post, a net.eth0 script that applies wireless settings prior to bringing up the network will be posted. Currently the script sets: ESSID, WEP, rate and mode(ad-hoc, managed, etc...). It pulls settings out of /etc/conf.d/net that are in the following format(where IFACE is the name of the interface, ala eth0, eth1...): rate_IFACE="Rate" wep_IFACE="WEP Key" ssid_IFACE="essid" mode_IFACE="mode" ex: rate_eth1="11M" wep_eth1="1A6738943AFH" #For key in hex wep_eth1="s:MYKEY" #For key in ascii, 's:' prefix is used ssid_eth1="default" mode_eth1="managed" If any setting is not used in the config, the script will not attempt to apply a setting. The script is modified from base-layout 1.9.4-r2
