That should help you a bit,I hope.

Hi, Tom,

Sorry for the hugely-delayed response, your email came in right before
the old crux.nu server died and we had some challenges to overcome
getting the new one in place before we'd planned to originally. Mailing
lists were the last part of the new build, pretty much.

Anyway, regarding wireless, you'd use wpa_supplicant in CRUX as well.
You could add a wpa_supplicant invocation to /etc/rc.d/net or create a
copy of net called 'wlan' or the like, if you prefer, and run
wpa_supplicant there.

As an example, I added just these two lines to /etc/rc.d/net (at the
beginning of the start case) on a laptop that I only connect via wireless:

/sbin/modprobe b43
/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211,wext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
-iwlan0 -B

As for exFAT, the Linux kernel doesn't support it natively. This isn't
crux-specific. You can find a third-party implementation for FUSE here:
https://github.com/relan/exfat

Hope this helps,
Matt
