startup script ... again.

Vindane · 03-04-2005, 01:19 AM

I've searched through alot of posts pertaining to startup scripts but I'm still not completely sure about it. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this for me.

I run Slackware 10.1
I edited /etc/rc.d/rc.local. This is exactly how this file reads:

Quote:

#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/rc.d/rc.local: Local system initialization script.
#
# Put any local setup commands in here:

modprobe ndiswrapper
iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
iwconfig wlan0 key restricted MY KEY
iwconfig wlan0 essid MY ESSID
dhcpcd wlan0

What am I leaving out? Is this the correct file that I should be putting this in?
Thanks!

You should be able to sqeeze some of that together and I'd add one more command.

modprobe ndiswrapper
iwconfig wlan0 essid MY ESSID mode Managed key restricted MY KEY
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhcpcd wlan0

Hmmm. I tried that suggestion you gave me and it still won't load at start-up. I would list the exact return it gives me but for some reason my System Log isn't wanting to pull up.

Any other suggestions?
