howto load wireless module acx_pci.ko at boot up?


i'm running fc3 on my ibm thinkpad t21. i have a dlink wireless card dwl-650+ that works absolutely fine. the problem though is that each time i start up my laptop i have to cd into the directory that contains my wireless device driver and "insmod acx_pci.ko" for the wireless card to work, how can i do this automatically at boot time itself without me having to manually insert the module each time?

also at boot up, it seems to be trying to initialize the wireless card but says
"the wireless card may not be present (or something of that sort), delaying initialization."
also i have "alias wlan0 acx_pci" entry in my /etc/modprobe.conf file
thanks in advance for all your help.

Hi goCool,

I think the problem here is that you haven't got hotplugging/PCMCIA/hardware discovery enabled on boot. I have no experience with Fedora however you should check your boot settings to make sure Fedora can see the card on boot.
Regards
Chris
