Awsome. Thanks for all the info. As i understand it, the bootlocal.sh file is the debian equilivant of rc.local? I am asking so many questions for two reasons, one I want to learn, and two, while i love haveing DSL, i still want to try out Debian Sarge, and i figure that after linux-wlan-ng is installed, i will need the same commands to get my adapter up and running. Thanks for all the help. this has been the most helpfull forum i have visited yet!

So, based what you guys have told me, these are the commands i would need when the device is wlan0, channel is 6 and no wep. This all applies to the linux-wlan-ng driver right? I have heard that the kernel has built in support for the prism chipset, is that true? Thanks again for all the help.

modprobe prism2_usb
wlanctl-ng "wlan0" lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
wlanctl-ng "wlan0" lnxreq_wlansniff enable=false channel "6"
wlanctl-ng "wlan0" p2req_channel_info_results channel "6"
wlanctl-ng "wlan0" lnxreq_autojoin ssid="SPEEDY" authtype=opensystem
pump -i "wlan0"
kill `pidof wmnet`
wmnet -w -W "wlan0" &

Your script is almost correct, just delete all the quotation marks. And wmnet is, of course, optional. It's a dockapp. I'm not sure if it displays traffic or signal strength.

wlanctl-ng is the configuration utility of the linux-wlan-ng driver package, so yes, these commands are unique to linux-wlan-ng.

The linux kernel MIGHT have inbuilt support for the prism chipset (possibly older prism chipsets, I think I've seen reference to it in a kernel recompile) but certainly not in the form of linux-wlan-ng drivers. This driver package is quite separate.

I think bootlocal.sh is a DSL innovation, rather than Debian.

Just to add here for others...

Yes, using the prisim2 config on the control panel works after you plug in the adapter, but (at least for me) on the reboot, it thought it was an ndiswrapper thing.

So, in addition to the above hints - i.e. use the ":" separator, I just copied the prisim2.sh to the /opt area, added the modprobe for the usb, and pointed the myprisim.sh to the /opt copy.

Thanks again for the tips here! Now it's on the net!
