New kernels… and this deserves a mention/warning: the last bits of the
“old” IDE/ATA system have been removed now. Everything should be using
the libata based drivers now, so if you have any drives that are currently
running as /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, etc., when you reboot with these kernels all
drives will be renamed as /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc. If you had any /dev/sd*
already, they might get renamed. Adjustments may be required in
/etc/lilo.conf, /etc/fstab, the initrd, and elsewhere. Good luck!

In rc.wireless, look for /sys/class/net/$dev/wireless rather than at the
contents of /proc/net/wireless to determine if an interface is wireless.
In recent kernels, interfaces that are not active will not appear in
/proc/net/wireless. Thanks to Marin Glibic and Piter Punk.
