Wireless Internet on start up

[Ryan450]

hey gang,

I got my wireless card all set up and mastered, the card is autodected and labeled as Ath0. but everytime I boot into Knoppix I need to run the configuration script over, use ifconfig ath0 up, and pump -i ath0 every time I boot into my knoppix (btw, I have a HDD install)

is there anyway I can set this up so that it does all this for me automatically at boot/startup/login?

I share a similar problem. it becomes annoying to do the same two commands to use the internet.

iwconfig ath0 essid **** channel 10 mode Managed key *************
pump -i ath0

Can this be simplified at startup?

try adding your configuration to the file /etc/network/interfaces; add something like
iface ath0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid ********
wireless-channel 10
wireless-mode Managed
wireless-keymode restricted
wireless-key1 ****-****-****-****-****-****-**
wireless-defaultkey 1
and it might be a good idea to use tabs (don't know if necessary, though) before the wireless-* keywords.
