    running a script at boot

    Hi

    I am using the ndiswrapper for my wireless card, and I am having troubles getting it to start at boot. I made a script to start the card. There should be a place to put the script where it will start the card on boot. On some distros it's like /etc/rc.d/rclocal or something similar to that.

    Any help will be appreciated

    Add similar to this to the file /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh near the bottom.
    Code:
    if [ -r /path/to/file.sh ]; then
        . /path/to/file.sh
    fi
