Hello,

I'm stuck with a problem. I've got a PCI WiFi card (using the rt61 chip) in a 
machine runing SuSE 9.3.

I've managed to instal the driver and configure 
the /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat file - although I may have made some 
mistake there, teh docs are not very clear.

The point is: interface ra0 is there. However, if I do an iwconfig, I get 
this:

RT61  Wireless  ESSID ""
(no access point)
...
blablabla...

So I have no connection. The ssid name is given both in the rt61sta.dat file 
and in Yast, although YAST insists on configuring wlan0...

Basically, getting online is not difficult: "iwconfig ra0 essid any", and 
everything works.

The problem is that this machine is meant to be installed in a place where 
other people can use it. They will *not* be Linux specialists and I do *not* 
want to give away the root password, so I have to find a way to run this 
command (or anything that brings the same result) at boot.

I tried a command in boot.local, but it fails because device is "down". I also 
tried a script in /etc/rc.d/rcS.d but to no avail.

Maybe someone who knows better than I do has an idea. Is it possible to give 
users the right to execulte just one command (iwconfig)?

Thierry
