hi, my wireless network works when I do a:

Code:

iwconfig eth1 nick "MY_PC" key open MY_KEY


but I'd like to set this up at boot time,

I've read some threads but have not found...

I've found a wiki page wich tells to edit the /etc/conf.d/wireless file and to read the /etc/conf.d/wireless.example file to help for setting up but I have any of these files.
So, can I set it up in the /etc/conf.d/net file and HOW ?

Thx.

You can simply create the missing files, just make sure to use a recent version of baselayout. If everything else fails, read the documentation.

Here is my /etc/conf.d/net, you can use it as a reference. eth0 is my ethernet card, eth1 wireless.

Code:
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10"

config_eth1=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth1="-t 10"

preferred_aps=( "essid1" "essid2" "essid3" )
blacklist_aps=( "essid4" )

key_essid1="key1 enc open"
key_essid2="key2 enc restricted"
key_essid3="key3 enc open"
