I am able to get my wireless network connection working by entering the following commands at the command line:

Code:
iwconfig eth1 essid MYSITE
iwconfig eth1 channel 7
ifconfig eth1 up
pump -i eth1


How can I get the above commands to happen automatically so I do not have to automatically enter them everytime the machine reboots? I am a Linux newbie so detailed instructions would be helpful.

Thanks,
John

search the forums for wireless. basically you need to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file and create something similar to this

auto eth1

iface eth1 inet dhcp
wireless_mode managed
wireless_network networkname
wireless_key longhexkeygoeshere

This is probably not exactly correct, but I have put good examples in previous forum threads.

You can find a lot of information about how to set up your wireless stuff using the man pages for network and wireless, use the commands:

man wireless
man network
man interfaces

Those should help.
