[gentoo-user] configuring wlan0

Hi,

I recently moved from a wired ethernet interface to wireless via ndiswrapper.
I now have wlan0 interface, and configuring it by hand works fine.

But, on boot, it's not coming up. The initscript gets as far as setting up the
essid, but then says that it cannot configure it. That's the only feedback.

msoulier@anton:~$ cat /etc/conf.d/net 
essid_wlan0="digitaltorque"
config_wlan0=( "192.168.0.5/24" )
routes_wlan0=( "default via 192.168.0.1" )
msoulier@anton:~$ ls -l /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Nov  8  2008 /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 -> net.lo

Do I need more here? I'm not yet running encryption, just a MAC filter, so no
other wireless params are needed.

Mike
