[Voyage-linux] Newbie Question: How can I disable hostapd

[Mirko Buholzer]

Thanks for your help!

After removing hostapd, I now finally found how to configure the wlan0 
during boot (propably everybody already knows that anyway!).
Below you may find a sample configuration in the /etc/network/interfaces 
config file:

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
         wireless-mode 2
         wireless-essid yourEssid
         wireless-key 23359473746585389584875


sorry if this is too basic,
mirko
