 Please Review: Host AP Driver Scripts Conflicting With Slackware? Hello, I have copied rc.inet1 and rc.inet1.conf and made some alterations to get the Host AP driver working, resulting in rc.hostap and rc.hostap.conf: http://www.edafe.org/slackware/index.html#hostap Both rc.hostap and rc.hostap.conf APPEAR to be playing nice with existing Slackware scripts rc.inet1 and rc.inet1.conf. Can you spot any sections in rc.inet1 and rc.inet1.conf that should not be duplicated in this way? Regards, Edafe      |

If your goal is to be able to configure interfaces other than eth? (such as wlan? tr? ath? and such), I myself am using a modified rc.inet1 and rc.inet1.conf that allow you to define arbitrary interface names, as many as you want. Since my modification is not yet accepted by Patrick Volkerding, I will not copy it to this news group, but you can email me and I'll mail you the script back. I will most likely re-write this script again soon, but it works 100% as it is now.

| Re: Please Review: Host AP Driver Scripts Conflicting With Slackware? Eric, Thanks for taking the time to have a look at this. What do you mean by "could be written as 's/eth/wlan/g'"? I removed the sections Loopback Functions and Gateway Functions from rc.hostap. I also removed the entry for the default gateway from rc.hostap.conf. Am I right to think that DEBUG_ETH_UP="no" can be removed from rc.hostap.conf as well? Now, about that script...
