Bring up USB wifi interface automatically?

[gjhicks]

Hi,

Am using a D-Link DWL-120 USB wifi device and it works just fine.

Device driver courtesy of http://at76c503a.berlios.de/

Following advice on that site, my "interfaces" file now contains:

mapping hotplug
script grep
map wlan0

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless_mode Managed
wireless_essid STANDRIES
wireless_channel 6

When I run iwconfig and ifconfig everything looks just fine but no actual connection.

After I run "pump -i wlan0" the interface is up and running.

I have also read "At this point you should issue (as root) ifup wlan0 to bring the interface up."

Is there a way to do this automatically?

Thanks

Did you have to recompile the kernal to get your USB device running? Not sure if this noob is up to that yet.

Thanks
