Hi there

I'm looking at installing DSL to hard drive as a minimal distro, then adding components as I need them (apt, xfce, etc). Before I do this, I want to make sure all of my hardware is supported.

My Atheros wireless card is detected as ath0 and appears to be working correctly. I have configured the SSID, but it won't pick up an IP address. How do I configure ath0 to use DHCP?

Thanks
Mark

Try using the line '  pump -i ath0  '  in a shell..

If this works, add it in with your other lines to your /opt/bootlocal.sh file..

Thanks - that works. I've never heard of the pump command. You can tell I've been using Windows too long - I was lost without ipconfig /renew :)

Hello Linux - it's good to be back! :D
