[iPAQ] Re: [Familiar] Networking setup

Maurizio,

I was able to get my Compaq WL100 card working by installing the wlan-ng
package from unstable.

After doing this, I had to edit two files to setup the proper configuration:
network.opts (many changes in here) and wlan-ng.opts (only one change -
DesiredSSID)

It worked just fine! And still does!

Ellen
