How do i store wep key and essid info?


Hi,

I recently bought a Belkin wireless card for my sony laptop running FC3. After 3 days of battling with the drivers i managed to get the thing working fine using RT61 (ralink drivers). I copied the RT61.ko file into /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1381_FC3/misc/ folder and did a depmod then a modprobe RT61. that works fine and the card starts up on boot (nice flashing light) but all of the essid & wep key information isn't being saved and i have to enter all the info using iwconfig then do a dhclient which is quite a ball ache.

The wep key is stored in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/keys-ra0 and is correct, and the essid in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-ra0

is there any way i can get the card to receive dhcp and dns info on boot, without me having to enter all the info in when i log in?
