DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Atheros a/b/g wireless

Take whatever remote-exploit.org did to make their live Linux distro (Auditor2 081004-01) work with Atheros a/b/g wireless PC cards and adapters and plug it into DSL. Please!

Thank you.

Create a file called "ifcfg-ath0" and stick it in "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts"

Contents of file should be:
# Atheros Communications, Inc.|AR5212 802.11abg NIC
DEVICE=ath0
ONBOOT=no
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ESSID=any
WIRELESS=yes
MODE=Managed
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=no
TYPE=Unknown
IPV6INIT=no

Now from command prompt run "pump -i ath0" and you should be up and running.

I have this set to restore automatically when booting off the LiveCD.

I agree it would be nice if this was incorporated into the ISO, but until then works with no problem.

Thank you. While I'd like to see it done to the ISO distro, too, I should have mentioned I run DSL from my laptop's hard drive tho I forget which 0.7 build I'm running.

I don't use DHCP so I think that BOOTPROTO would be a problem. How would I call my static TCP/IP settings (address, mask, gateway, etc.)?

What about netcardconfig? Right now I do wireless with a 11b only WPC11v3. I ran netcard config once and every time I boot up, I'm on my 11b network.

I'd like to do the same with my WPC51AB and have it connect to the 11a network instead.

I tried for a loooooong time to get this DSL install on my 11a WLAN and finally decided to stop torturing myself. Which is why I was so suprised when Auditor2 played so nice with my A/B card.

Can I just copy the stuff from the Auditor2 distro into my DSL directories? And what would I look for?

Thanks again.
