# make config

To configure the linux-wlan-ng-0.1.7 package, run 'make config.' and respond to the questions.

The defaults should be sufficient for most users. 'make config.' must be run after a 'make

clean' and before 'make all'.

To build the package

# make all

10)

To install the package

# make install

11)

Edit the /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.opts file for configuration. These options are set every

time you insert a card.

# cd /etc/pcmcia

# vi /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.opts

; Do we want to enable the card at all? It always sets to 'y'.

; Set to 'n' if you wish to load the flash.

WLAN_ENABLE=y

dot11PrivacyInvoked=false # true|false

dot11WEPDefaultKeyID=1 # 0|1|2|3

dot11ExcludeUnencrypted=true # true|false, in AP this means WEP

; Use the generator string to generate keys (just a convenience)

PRIV_GENERATOR=/sbin/nwepgen # nwepgen, Neesus compatible

PRIV_GENSTR="12345"

; or set them explicitly. Set genstr or keys, not both.

dot11WEPDefaultKey0= # format: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

dot11WEPDefaultKey1= # e.g. 01:20:03:40:05
