Ok, here's another question about the acx100 chipset. (Aren't we all getting tired of this?)
Kudos to Craig's ACX100 HOWTO

I compiled the driver (pre5), and installed it, works great!!! (First Try even), however, to get the card
actually to ping http/ftp I have to su - and manually type "route add default gw 192.168.0.1".


My question, then, is where/how do I add this command to my network-scripts so that I don't have to
manually type this everytime I have to reboot (It's my laptop, so I continuously have to shut down, and reboot, as I haven't configured it for standby or hibernate yet).

Here's my network-script

(Redhat 8.0 kernel 2.4.18-14)
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.0.2
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.1
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
MTU=1500
ONBOOT=no
MODE=Managed
CHANNEL=6
RATE=22M
KEY=1234567890
ESSID="xxxxxxx"

and the /etc/sysconf/network

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1

Put the GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 entry in the ifcfg-eth0 file.

Try putting this in /etc/sysconfig/network.
GATEWAYDEV=eth0

Also in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 change the NETWORK=192.168.0.1 to this:
NETWORK=192.168.0.0

Hi, I am fairly new to debian and I don't know if we have a similar thing as to your network sysconfig thing, looks really cool :-)

If all else fails you can try the following, I know of more people doing it this way

so what we do is this, since hotplug loads the module for me i created a script with the same name as the module (acx100_pci) and put it in the /etc/hotplug/pci/ directory, it works for me :-) (don't mind the first line in the script as i put it there since when I modprobe the module normally it won't get inserted into the kernel, even if I have mentioned the module options in modules.conf. The last two lines are there since otherwise he will not accept my gateway for wlan0 for some strange reason)

here's an example

rmmod acx100_pci
modprobe acx100_pci firmware_dir=/etc/acx100fw debug=0x01
ifconfig wlan0 ur.ip.adr.ess mtu 576
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
sleep 1
iwconfig wlan0 essid default
sleep 1
iwconfig wlan0 key xxxx-xxxx-xx
route add default gw ur.gw.adr.ess wlan0
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up


BTW: The guys from the acx100 project are doing a real good job! without them we would still be plugged and 60 eur lighter!

Just wanted to say thanks for all the help.
Changed my ifcfg-eth0 script and all works well.
Actually, it's rather easy to configure once you get the hand of it.
