Hi,
I have this computer here which has a knoppix 3.7 hdd install (works great).
Now I put a pcmcia wlan card in. I can configure it with netcardconfig and wlanconfig just fine. It's eth0.
But how do I make this machine activate this interface at bootup?
I noticed that the wlan configuration is stored in /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts. This file is called from /etc/pcmcia/wireless, which itself is called from /etc/pcmcia/network.
Question 1: How do I start this script easiest at bootup?
Question 2: If I run /etc/pcmcia/network start eth0 manually, it fails (if simply gives me the usage hints, as if I had some parameters wrong). What's the problem there? I noticed that this script is only run from wlan-ng, which seems to be able to handle only prism2 cards (I have an smc card with a driver I downloaded somewhere else).
