(I do only have one week of Linux/Fedora experience so please take it slow.....)
Background:
I am running Fedora 7.
I have a D-link DWL-G520 PCI Adapter.
I have downloaded the madwifi driver (madwifi-0.9.3.2) from
"
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ckage_id=85233" and installed it according to the instructions in the HowTo article at "
http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo".
Everything works fine at this point and I am connected to the network as expected.
My problem:
is that the network adapter configuration fails on next reboot. The configuration settings does not seams to be saved......?
When I run the following commands (after reboot)
[root@localhost ~]# iwconfig ath0 essid "Solstuen"
[root@localhost ~]# iwconfig ath0 key xxxxx (My key)
[root@localhost ~]# iwpriv ath0 authmode 1
[root@localhost ~]# dhclient ath0
the adapter connects properly and I am networked again.
Is there a file I have to edit to make the configuration "stick"? (startup script?)
Any help is appreciated
Best regards Tore
