wlan0 --> get to start uatomatically, how?

[kRogue]

Hi,

I have a zd1211 chipset WLAN USB dongle, I can get it to work just fine, but I do not see how to get it to startup automatically at boot, the device's name is wlan0, so I created the file /etc/sysconfog/network-scripts/ifcg-wlan0 which contains:

DEVICE=wlan0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:02:72:57:AE:2E
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet

(the HWADDR was gotten from ifconfig) once I get it runnign by hand..

so what do I need to do to get it to start autmoatically at boot?

Put the module in /etc/modprobe.conf

Hi,

I first tried to add the line:

alias wlan0 zd1211rw_mac80211

to my /etc/modprobe.conf, but the wireles still did not start up at boot, so I figured I got it backwards and then changed it to:

alias zd1211rw_mac80211 wlan0

and it still did not startup at boot (me thinks that the first was the correct one anyways), is there anything besides the modprobe.conf thingy? or is is that the system wants eth0 there to make the netowrk startup at boot?

the issue was a filenaming type, I made the file name ifcg-wlan0, but it should have been ifcfg-wlan0... uggggggggghhhhhhh.... no need to add anything to modules.conf either... stoopiidd meee.... arrghhhh
