/etc/rc.local doesnt load it on start up. I dont know if the script is enabled.

at the bottom of rc.local it says:
In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
Thats fine and dandy but I dont know how to change the execution bits

I have to pull it up with ifconfig ra0 up and then configure it with Knoppix on board network wizard. I cant seem to get it going with command line, the pump command always fails for some reason. I want to be able to do it with the command line.
I moved your post here just to avoid too much topics on one thread. Let's be fair to those user who wants to keep track on their own problems.

OK, for your problem. Here is a summary of what you have done so far.

1. You found yourself a compiled wifi device driver rt2870sta.ko from somewhere.
2. Manually, you have successfully activated your wifi device.

Now you want to automate it during boot time. And you are trying it by adding entries on the rc.local to make it works.

Can you do the following:

Perform the following 2 commands from the konsole and post your result back.

Code:
$ ls -l /etc/rc.local
$ cat /etc/rc.local
In case you don't know where the konsole is, it is the black TV liked icon on the bottom status bar on the x-window.

Rgds,
