The arch wiki shows how to do it, and I used google to get my WPA going. It went relatively easy; the issue was the drivers and that after I new what I was doing. I still have issues with the wireless network going down (the card actually) when I close the screen and it not letting me connect even if I ifup wlan0, or ifupdown or whatever, but I'll tackle those another time. :) Thanks, Tyler Littlefield http://tds-solutions.net Twitter: sorressean On Mar 14, 2010, at 6:16 PM, Chris Brannon wrote: > Keith Hinton wrote: >> How goes the TalkingArch project? >> I am curious to know if it is even still active-as no new blog posts >> have been forthcoming sinse the hint about what's upcoming. > > I'm still here.
