-Hi!
-Nice of you to pop by.
-
-==========================================================================
-
-Slackware 10.x replacement rc scripts by Alien.
-
-==========================================================================
-
-PREFACE:
-If you were looking for the 'http://sox.homeip.net/slackware-10.1.IHWhqM'
-URL, a word of advice. The rc.inet1 script that I put up there is still
-available in the subdirectory 'slackware-10.1.IHWhqM' that you'll find
-above.
-However, Pat Volkerding was not happy with the fact that this particular
-script breaks compatibility with older rc.inet1.conf configuration files.
-Therefore, I re-designed the pair of scripts: rc.inet1 and rc.wireless
-so that their configuration files (rc.inet1.conf and rc.wireless
-respectively) remain compatible with the stock Slackware versions.
-The new scripts that you will find here, have much more functionality
-than my first attempts (still kept for reference in the
-slackware-10.1.IHWhqM directory).
-
-So, read on for all the info you'll need about this new stuff......
-
-==========================================================================
-
-NETWORK CARD CONFIGURATION:
-A major complaint with wireless network cards, is that Slackware's
-network configuration does not allow for other interfaces than eth0,
-eth1, etc...
-
-My replacement scripts work fine for network interfaces with other names
-than eth0, etc1, ..... For instance, you can use them if you have a
-wireless interface called wlan0, or ath0, or ra0.
-
-You will need the set of rc.inet1* and rc.wireless* together - you must
-upgrade them all at once (well the *.conf files may stay the same if you
-are still using the stock Slackware scripts).
-
-These new rc scripts will offer support for arbitrary network interface
-names, but also support for WPA encryption using wpa_supplicant.
-For WPA support you must of course install wpa_supplicant too, but
-the sources, build script and Slackware package can be found under
-
-http://sox.homeip.net/slackware/slackbuilds/wpa_supplicant/
-
-Put your WPAPSK (the WPA pre-shared key) in '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'
-together with other wireless settings
-- look at '/etc/wpa_supplicant.sample' for inspiration.
-
->>> WEP encryption, naturally, is still supported, like before. <<<
-
-The rc.wireless script must only be run by the rc.inet1 script,
-it is not meant to be run directly by you, the user.
-
-So, to start your wlan0 interface, you run:
- # /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 wlan0_start
-and to restart the interface (i.e. stop, and then start again) you do:
- # /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 wlan0_restart
-Look at the bottom of rc.inet1.conf for examples of the (many new)
-parameters you can configure for your interfaces.
-
-I would like to receive your comments on how they work for you, so that
-they can hopefully be incorporated into Slackware 11 eventually.
-
-You can contact me in Freenode IRC in ##slackware.
-Look out for alien_ or aloon.
