How do I configure the cards, /usr/src/linux/.config ? How do I set them up for an 'ad-hoc' network? How do I configure the cards to use one channel among 1 through 6?

I'm wanting to create a community wireless LAN using a water tower as a passive reflector and hoping for ~5 mile radius of the water tower. I am also wanting to use the minimum CPU horsepower for the wireless<>internet gateway. This is why I'm trying to get a wireless device working in my old 80586x120. ;-) Chuck nc8q ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
