done.

Unfortunately wpa_supplicant says that operation is not supported. I
attached my syslog for further investigations. I also set in
/etc/modutils/options:

options ath_pci countrycode=040

but this didn't help either. Have you got another idea?

BTW: I saved my configuration to an USB stick with save-config and this
work quite well, but it's annoying to type `grml
video=vesafb:ypan,1400x1050-32 at 60 lang=at myconfig=/dev/sda' all time. I
read about bootparams directory, but I don't want to change my iso. Is
it also possible to save the boot options to the stick for an automated
start?
