Hey all, here's one that will cause for many sleepless nights. I'm
wondering if there's a way to possibly include wifi network card support
upon install. This should include setting a channel and setting
encryption, as well. Is this a little too advanced for a kickstart
file? I'm sure there's probably a way to incorperate all this into a
%pre, but I was wondering if anyone has done it before.
Do you mean for installation, or for subsequent use? If the latter, you
could include some lines like:
cat <<EOF > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0
DEVICE=...
...
EOF
in %post. If I recall correctly, all of the WiFi information gets written
to this file or another similar file, though I also seem to recall having to
muck with /etc/modules.conf once or twice to get my Wifi card working.
