Hello,
I have copied rc.inet1 and rc.inet1.conf and made some alterations to
get the Host AP driver working, resulting in rc.hostap and rc.hostap.conf:

http://www.edafe.org/slackware/index.html#hostap

Both rc.hostap and rc.hostap.conf APPEAR to be playing nice with
existing Slackware scripts rc.inet1 and rc.inet1.conf.

Can you spot any sections in rc.inet1 and rc.inet1.conf that should not
be duplicated in this way?

Regards,
Edafe
