How-to get a wifi connection during installation?
by Didier Spaier from LinuxQuestions.org on (#562BP)
In next Slint installer an at least partial net-installation will be provided, so that user get directly the most recent version of each package found in the repository, and also get the packages added since the release of the ISO, instead of having to download then install or replace a lot of packages after installation.
The Slackware (and Slint) installer can set a wired Internet connection, but not yet a wireless one. However, more and more laptops lack an RJ45 slot.
What would be the minimum set of packages needed to add the ability to setup a wifi connection during installation, using only command line apps? The idea is to present the user with the detected networks and let the user pick one, then type the password if need be.
The software will have to be shipped in the installer itself.
Thanks for any clue.
