I installed DSL 3.0.1 to my HD, install went fine,I can get my wireless card (TRENDnet 421pc) card to work using it's driver mrv8000c.inf with ndiswrapper. I put ndiswrapper in my modprobe.conf to load at boot and the card lights up but for some reason my wlan0 settings don't load?
Via the terminal I do my iwconfig wlan0 settings, then pump -i wlan0 and everything is up and running. What I would like is ndiswrapper up, then my wlan0 settings applied. How to? Thanks in advance!

modprobe ndiswrapper
sleep 3
iwconfig wlan0 essid my_sid_here
iwconfig wlan0 key 99:99:99:99:99:99:99:99:99:99:99:99:99

Thanks for the information.
I didn't use the first line ndiswrapper -i mrv8000c.inf
because I got an error message on boot saying it was already installed, so after editing that line out on reboot it worked perfectly! Thanks again.
