When I reboot I lose all wireless settings. To re-enable my wireless (Dynex):


How do I make this process automatic?

Background: I have Madwifi working on R5E50. Previous experience only w/ ndiswrapper on my Xubuntu laptop. New to Linux (month or two along...first posted question)--searched all night for a config file to put these commands in, but I am beginning to think that I am missing something. I have run modprobe ath_pci, but nothing has changed (and I have no idea what I am actually doing by running that).

Thanks for the help--sometimes the seemingly simple can be the most elusive.

make your /etc/network/interfaces file look like this:


Where mynetworkname is the name of your wireless network and mywirelesskey is your WEP key that you set on your wireless router.
After making those changes, at the shell type:


Those settings should be loaded each time you boot.

I fought a similar problem to this for a while. It turned out I needed to add ath_pci to my /etc/modules file. Then wireless would come back up for ath0 after a reboot.
