Hi, I have a pcmcia network card for which I have found a working kernel module, but I cannot connect to the wireless internet here unless I change some settings in the /proc/aironet/eth0 directory and run ifup. I have put together a small script (my first one like this) to do this automatically, but it doesn't really work perfectly. This is the script:
#!/bin/sh ex -s /proc/aironet/eth0/Config >/dev/null <<EOF %s/open/shared :wq! EOF echo paswoord > /proc/aironet/eth0/SSID ifup eth0 Even though it is -rwsr-sr-x root root, it doesn't work unless executed with 'sudo' (??). 1) is there any script that is ran whenever it detects me putting the card in? When I put it in, /var/log/syslog sais: Oct 4 21:59:23 sirach kernel: airo: Probing for PCI adapters Oct 4 21:59:23 sirach kernel: airo: Finished probing for PCI adapters Oct 4 21:59:23 sirach kernel: airo: MAC enabled eth0 0:40:96:38:da:4a Oct 4 21:59:23 sirach kernel: eth0: index 0x05: Vcc 5.0, Vpp 5.0, irq 3, io 0x0100-0x013f 2) Anyway, my biggest problem is that every once in a while I get lots of email messages telling me that on (date,time) root was editing the Config file, Nvi saved it and I can recover it with 'ex -r'.
