Help on the wireless document

[loader-4]

Hi all,

I was working with Sam on a wireless howto, and I've tried to
finish documenting what I could (It's very incomplete). I need
some help cleaning it up, correcting my mistakes, and mergeing
it with the existing wireless section into the Handbook.

Thanks in advance.

Overall this looks quite good.  This will be an excellent addition to
the docs.  One comments:

In this bit:

        Then, let's bring up the interface:
        # /etc/rc.d/netif start

did you names "netif start" or "netif start ath0"?  The second is
probably better.

Yes, that would be better than trying to (re)start all interfaces.
It's what I'm using to start/stop only the wireless interface too
and it works fine :)

As for where this should go, I can always help make it a section of
the Handbook.  It can fit very nicely after the "PPP and SLIP" part
of "Network Communication".
