Setting up madwifi on Mandrake 10?


Hi,

I have compiled the madwifi drivers successfully, and did a make install on them. Hurray - it took me some time to get this long - im still a newbie ;-)

Now, i have to write:

modprobe wlan
modprobe ath_pci
modprobe ath_hal

before the ath0 pops up in the iwconfig command. How do i make this stay there after reboot? (modules.conf/modprobe.conf - and what do i write in there?!)

Now, when i've done that - what then? I can see in iwconfig that there are a signal - but how do i connect to it? And setup networkkeys, etc...?

Hope u have the time to answer me :-)

// Yoc.

you have add what very command you want to run in to this text file which is at
/etc/rc.local
yes, you have to write all the initilization parameters too!
when you do modprobe, please use the whole command path which would be "/sbin/modprobe" otherwise the script wouldn't know where is at
