Making less

[Martin Jessa]

Hi.

We have managed to make a set of shell scripts that do just that, automatically.
It's correct that you need CURRENT to be able to build support for ath.
I am on a assignement now working on a WISP but when i come back I will try to update the www.wifibsd.org site and put all the scripts there and write a howto about all the necessarily steps required to build your own version of it.
As I told you before, join us on irc.freenode.net , #wifibsd channel and maybe we could help you there.

Cheers,
YazzY
