run 'make clean'. If make clean behaves badly (infinite loop, for

4) To configure the linux-wlan-ng package, run 'make config' and respond
|
|
|
|
|
to the questions. The defaults should be sufficient for most
|
|
|
|
|
users. 'make config' must be run after a 'make clean' and

|
|
|

before 'make all'.

set every time you insert a card. If you want to change an option

after the initial configuration, a) pop your card out, b) alter the

station, the SSID you're connecting to will be appended to the

|
|
|
|
current pcmcia scheme name. You can use this to have different

|
|
|
|
IP setups for different wireless LANs you connect to (e.g. home vs. work).
