Really simple question

I want the following on Slackware 10.1.

On boot:

swapon /dev/hdb3
modprobe ndiswrapper
(5 second pause)
dhcpcd wlan0

Any help is appeciated it in advanced.

First off, swap is generally automatically activated by the system at the appropriate time. Just add a line like this to your /etc/fstab:

Code:

/dev/hdb3 none swap sw 0 0

For the rest, in whatever init script you intend to place this in (rc.local, perhaps), just add:

Code:

modprobe ndiswrapper
sleep 5
dhcpcd wlan0

Though I think you'd probably want something like:

Code:

modprobe ndiswrapper
iwconfig wlan0 essid YOURESSID
sleep 5
dhcpcd wlan0
