IPCop and HW Preparation

Physically install your WLAN card first. Use lspci and make sure your card is detected and is of the 'type' that you expect.
Make sure that the driver for your card is included with the addon or get it from some other source. If you do not have a driver, use google, search the IPCop support forums, etc. Do not Email me when looking for a driver.

Add a Blue Interface, open a console connection and type setup, and assign the wireless card to Blue:

If the card is not detected, you may have to install the addon first, and then repeat setup.

Addon Installation
