airport?

how do i set up airport wireless on my tibook? i'm currently running openbsd 3.6.

i am really having trouble with this. could someone please lend a hand? i have google'd the net for days without any luck. i am presently trying to set it up with wep 128 encryption. thanks.

See the instructions midway down about ifconfig and wicontrol.

thanks,
i have seen that link before. i was having trouble because my wep key was 26 characters long. in any case, that information along with this:
http://nozzle.x-1.net/hostname.wi0
enabled me to have a working wireless connection. i don't understand the inner-workings but it works. if someone could give a little explanation as to why and how, i would greatly appreciate it. in other words, what am i doing by following the commands presented in http://www.dachb0den.com/projects/tibook-openbsd.html
and by creating the hostname.wi0 file?

and if it's not too much to ask, now that i am ready to surf the internet, is my system vulnerable to attack? does openbsd, being the secure OS that it is, need much extra configuration after the install and patching to be protected?

thanks.

After the OpenBSD OS boots up, it runs the rc startup script (/etc/rc). This script reads /etc/rc.conf and /etc/rc.local.conf and fires off other scripts within the /etc directory (e.g. /etc/netstart for network functions) and issues commands similar to what you would do if you manually typed:
iwconfig wi0 .... rest of options ....

You should read man 8 rc for a detailed explanation of this process. You could also look at /etc/rc to see how it runs. It is a shell script, so you can easily read it with your favourite text editor.

Don't surf the net as root! Instead, create a normal user account and use that for day to day operations. You should never need to login to root again (read man sudo for an alternative). Check your browser for upgrades and apply accordingly. Good luck.
