Description

It isn't enough to describe just how to use wlanconfig, and expect all end users to be able to do the rest.

We need a newbie howto with things like: how do I connect to my AP, step-by-step.

Think: "I want my Granddad to be able to follow this" - or in my case, it's my Dad :)

I'v made a start at: UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo More work is still needed though.

Good work so far, Matt. I just fixed two minor typos, but I'm not sure about the "we" -> "went" fix in revision 12 of the page - could you please verify that?

Yeah, that's right.

Thanks Mike. There comes a point where no matter how many time you read it though, you still don't see the errors!

Add something about needing libiw-dev (wireless tools dev packages)... if changes hit SVN.

I don't have a WPA AP, so I've never got it going. Would someone else care to contribute a section on WPA to the page?

Brilliant. The last links that kelmo added mean it's pretty much done.
