Hi all,

Let's say you've got a wireless card that's working with DSL 1.0rc2 through ndiswrapper. How can I get the system to boot up and automatically configure the wireless card with the right *.INF file and ssid settings?

Thanks,
Doug

have you found a solution to this ?

what worked on my HD install of knoppix was to add
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless_essid default
wireless_mode Managed
wireless_channel 6
wireless_key s:***********
to
/etc/network/interfaces

it doesnt work in DSL though

I use a safecom card (rtl8180 chipset) with ndiswrapper

almost works, just doesnt do the dhcp broadcast.

Good enough for me though.
