Networking :: Wireless connection for ath0



I have a new Toshiba notebook (M35X-S149) with builtin wireless radio. I have to do the following steps to connect to hotspots using this radio:
   1) sudo su  in an xterminal session
   2) ifconfig ath0 up ( or if you choose to specify wifi settings, do  Wlanconfig under DSL panal first)
   3) pump -i ath0
 
   Is there a better way? I know this isn't difficult but my Lucent pccard configures automaticly.
Hi there,

Have to do a similar thing on my laptop.

If your going to use the same card all the time, you can add the console commands to say the .xinitrc file in your /home directory (I think thats the correct one). This should setup the card when you boot DSL and go into fluxbox. If you want the card setup earlier, eg before the x server loads, just find the correct file (don't know what its called).

HTH. :cool:

That would be /opt/bootlocal.sh which is equivalent to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file in redhat

Could I use that file, say to start Monkey webserver when the machine boots, even before the user login prompt (if its a hdd install) ???

This would be affirmative...

I used it to activate my rc.firewall program and ssh and others and it worked beautifully...

Anything you want started at boot time put in there
