It's actually pretty easy. Just enter the appropriate commands into your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file. So you'll want to start with modprobe ndiswrapper to load the module, followed by whatever iwconfig commands you use to configure the card and then finish by either requesting and IP address via DHCP or assinging a static IP and gateway.

Thanks, but in /etc/rc.d/ i can only find a shell script called rc it doesnt say if its rc.local
is that the file?

What distro are you using?

suse linux 9.1 pro

OK, in Suse I think the startup script is /etc/init.d/boot.local. I think it serves the same function as the rc.local file so try adding your commands to that file.
