Add ndiswrapper to startup

Hi folks,

How to make ndiswrapper work at startup? I can make it work manually,
and I wrote a script like below:

/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 essid aaaabb
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 key open xxxxxxxxxxx
/sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up
/sbin/dhclient wlan0

It works perfectly while I run it manually from bash shell, but just
want to integrate into the startup process to make it work automatically.

Thanks,

It depends on your distribution. In mine (Debian), you edit the file
/etc/network/interfaces

Hi,

I am using Fedora 7, is it same configuration?

ln -s [yourscript] /etc/rc2.d/S90homebrewscripttoenablewireless

Replace rc2 with the runlevel your distro boots into by default, if it's not
runlevel 2.

No. It is something like /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-wlan0

"man 7 wireless" tells you much of the story.

Under what distribution of linux?
Under Mandriva and I think some others, put a file
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0
and into that file put the various run time parameters. Or use mcc to set
up the file for you and tell it to connect at boot.

Eithr a script in /etc/rc{3,5}.d or at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local

OK. I use a laptop at school (where I am now). It connects to a
wireless network (802.11g). They (admin.$SCHOOL.edu) have blocked the
port (<1024) to which I have sshd forwarded (I no longer leave it at
22). But, I can ssh to $OTHERMACHINE.$SCHOOL.edu, get a shell prompt,
and from there ssh to $HOME. The question is, is there any way to send
an X display through this? Occasionally, it's handy to run a graphical
app at home and have it display here.

Just turn on X11 tunnelling for both ssh sessions.

ssh -X -C <hostname>
run "xclock"
and it should show up on your screen.

make sure it is enabled on the server:
grep X11 /etc/sshd/sshd_conf

....through *both* hosts.

....on *both* hosts (the OP probably doesn't have access to verify that
it's enabled on the school's servers, so he'll just have to try it).

BTW, to the OP, don't followup another post to make a new thread.
Create a new one, so that threading news agents don't bury your message
in another thread.
