How would I setup "dldrconfig -a" to run at startup. Obviously I am new at Linux.

I am working on my wireless and Linuxant dldrconfig. The problem is that when I boot, I have to manually start dldrconfig everytime.

Any suggestions?

Try adding this line to the end or /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

dldrconfig -a

You have to be root to edit that file

Thanks! That worked perfectly. Compared to DOS, is that file similar to an autoexec.bat file??

Functionally, similar. But the scripting language used is much more powerful and it's one of many config files used in linux. Check out some in you /etc directory and see what I mean. These are bash scripts which utilize the bash scripting language. Once you understand it and a few other tools, you can make linux do just about anything.
