Starting Wireless on Bootup


Hi, I am trying to start my Wireless Card (DLink DWL G122) on startup, my distro is SuSE 10.0, I have configured the card in yast2 but that doesn't make it work so I run a script to get it working.
ifconfig rausb0 192.168.1.3 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ifconfig rausb0 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0
iwconfig rausb0 essid G604T_WIRELESS
iwconfig rausb0 mode managed
iwconfig rausb0 channel 6
iwconfig rausb0 rate auto
iwconfig rausb0 enc 94be66edcfd91b6335c2210a5b
route add default gw 192.168.1.1
ifconfig rausb0 up
How can I either configure Yast2 to these options or get this script to run on system start, init 3/5.

One way of doing this would be to call the script from /etc/init.d/boot.local . This is a script that is initially empty at install, provided in SuSE to allow you to "add things, that should happen directly after booting before we're going to the first run level" (to quote the comments from the file itself).
