get a script to run on startup

Hi,
It took a while, but I finally got my wifi card to work in debian sarge. I made a script that configures and activates it with the help of a tutorial.

My question is, how do I get that script to run on startup? I want it to run before gdm starts.

Thanks.

put that script in /etc/init.d/ and make a symlink for it in /etc/rcx.d/ where x is ur runlevel

regards

Cool. It works.

I called the script /etc/init.d/rt2500. Then, I ran

# update-rc.d rt2500 defaults

Now it works like a charm.
Thankx
