Configuring:
 
NOTE:  linux-wlan-ng does not fully implement the wireless extensions
       interface.  This means that you can't use iwconfig and its kin to  
       set things up.  Instead, read on!
 
As of linux-wlan-ng 0.1.16-pre5, the configuration and launch scripts have
been largely re-written.  pcmcia/rc/hotplug now all use a common library  
of routines and use the same set of configuration files.
 
Now, everything relevant exists in /etc/wlan/*
 
/etc/wlan/wlan.conf:
 
 This file maps between wlan devices and network IDs, and contains
 the names of all devices that should be initialized by the hotplug
 and rc scripts.
 
/etc/wlan/wlancfg-*
 
 These files are per-network configurations.  This makes it easy to  
 switch between different SSIDs and the various settings they may
 require, like WEP keys and whatnot.
 
The bare minimum you need to do to configure your system after a fresh driver
install:
 
0)  Nothing whatsoever.  out-of-the-box, the driver will attempt to associate
    with any access point within range.
 
However, we highly recommend setting up a configuration specifically for
your network, using the following method:
 
0)  This example assumes your network name/SSID is "MyHomeNetwork"
1)  cp /etc/wlan/wlancfg-DEFAULT /etc/wlan/wlancfg-MyHomeNetwork
2)  edit /etc/wlan/wlan.conf and change the SSID_wlan0 line to:
 SSID_wlan0="MyHomeNetwork"
3)  edit /etc/wlan/wlancfg-MyHomeNetwork, and make any necessary changes  
    necessary to support your network, such as WEP and whatnot.

FOR USB USERS:
 
A) Make sure your kernel usb support is running
B) Plug in the Prism2.x USB device
C) Run 'modprobe prism2_usb prism2_doreset=1' to load the driver into memory.
D) Run 'wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable' to initialize the
   driver+MAC functions.
E) Run 'wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=<your ssid> authtype=opensystem'
   to enable the MAC in Infrastructure Station mode.
F) Run 'ifconfig wlan0 <your IP address>'
 
Or, you can use the provided hotplug scripts, if your distribution has
hotplug support.    
 
IMPORTANT: Due to an issue with some versions of the Prism USB firmware,
the driver usually needs to perform a port reset.  
 
Some combinations of usb low-level drivers, kernel releases, and
hardware don't like this, and usually end up generating a kernel OOPS.
newer kernels are much better in this regard.  In particular, Intel usb
controllers are the most trouble-prone.
 
The OOPS is due to bugs in the linux USB core, and newer kernels
(2.4.19 and later) behave much better in this regard.
 
However, the good news is that primary firmware 1.1.2 seems to resolve
the need for the port reset to begin with.  Contact your vendor to
request this update.
 
Also, using the 'Alt. UHCI' controller driver (uhci.o) is broken with  
kernels older than 2.4.22 due to a bug in the controller driver.
