[PLUG] WiFi set up pointers needed

[Michael H. Collins]

This was Gentoo, right?  Just hard compile all the pcmcia and wireless 
stuff into a 2.6.5 kernel.  no file touching necessary, it should just 
work.  make sure you have the wireless tools installed.  Any card you 
have shoudl just work.  just do dhcpcd eth1 and walk and talk.

That is what I have been doing for since gentoo came out.  diff kernels 
though but you get it.
I hard compile everything into the kernel.
