[BL] Wireless-tools and the lot

[Mouse]

Greetings all,

Thanks for BasicLinux, it runs very well on my 16mb 120mhz Libretto
70. A few questions, please.

One - Where is the 'wireless-tools' package? iwconfig, iwlist, etc. I
see only one reference to the software, packaged as "wireless.tgz" and
at http://www.basiclinux.com.ru/add-ons/wireless.tgz but the link is
404'ed and even web.archive.org doesn't have it archived.

Two - is there a development environment for BasicLinux? I am well
versed enough to find my own sources and compile 2.2.26, libc5, gcc et
al, but I'd really prefer not to, as someone's obviously done that
already. If it's lost to time, however, I'll be forced to do it (and
contribute it back). I must make this machine useful! It's too cute
not to! But it's like a corded elephant, if I can't get wireless
working.

Thanks! :)

Slackware 4.0 packages.
For wireless pcmcia use airo or wvlan with 2.2.26 kernel.
Search the archives.

Sorry about that. There was some reorganisation
at basiclinux.com.ru and wireless.tgz slipped
between the cracks. The package is quite small
(22kb). I would be happy to email it to you if
you still want it.

I've been using the development tools from
Slackware 4.0 (in the /slakware/d1 directory)
with the 2.2.26 sourcecode (www.kernel.org).
