HostAP, USB drives, and eth1/wlan0
These are some of the improvements going into .5-3 which will be released as .5-4 once it's done in beta.
HostAP is working for PCMCIA thanks to help from WebToker. We were able to get his laptop to automatically detect and configure his pcmcia card using the hostap driver. I compiled a new iso that boots right up and his laptop is a ZoneCD-AP. Pretty Cool!
USB Drive support will be available in the next release. All you guys that have been asking me for the last six months can stop now... I gave in and did it. You can forget about the floppy drive and use a usb thumb drive to save your config.
Eth1 will now have an option to change the IP address. You will also be able to change the DHCP server IP (duh) and the range of IP's that are handed to clients. There will be a copy of dhcpd.conf saved on the floppy/usb device in zonecd/conf. You can edit this file to make dhcpd work how you want... also the option for changing the IP address of Eth1 will not have a dialog, you will need to edit the zonecd.conf file.
