Quoteing a web
# First we need to add three lines to the file /etc/modprobe.conf
1. alias eth1 ipw3945
2. install ipw3945 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945 ; sleep
0.5 ; /sbin/ipw3945d --quiet
3. remove ipw3945 /sbin/ipw3945d --kill ; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove
ipw3945
The first line assumes that we will have the wireless interface as eth1.
# Next we need to add a line to the file /etc/rc.local
/sbin/ipw3945d --quiet
Hope this helps
