I convinced him to set one up, because he produces a lot of geeky things, which by now stayed on his harddisc. Since a few days `Jakob Westhoff`__ - a good friend, university and `usergroup`__ collegue of mine - has a `blog`__. I convinced him to set one up, because he produces a lot of geeky things, which by now stayed on his harddisc. .. __: http://westhoffswelt.de .. __: http://phpugdo.de .. __: http://westhoffswelt.de/blog/ Yesterday Jakob has published `a first piece of his work`__: An enhanced way of configuring wireless devices on `Gentoo Linux`__. Usually you define all your settings in the /etc/conf.d/wireless file. But if you have to manage a lot of access points with a lot of advanced settings (like post assignement scripts), this file gets large and unmaintainable. Jakob enhanced the wireless configuration to use a directory /etc/conf.d/wireless.d/, where you can store a single configuration file for each AP. .. __: http://westhoffswelt.de/blog/index.php?/archives/2-Gentoo-wireless,-my-way.html .. __: http://gentoo.org I did not try it out myself (mainly because of the lag of time), but what I saw on his maschine looks great! I hope the Gentoo people will possibly intergrate it into the system. **Great work, Jakob!** ..
