Hi there,

after some time of tweaking and good tips from Darren Critchley i
finally have my Ndiswrapper up and running.

But there is one last thing that annoys me. I tried to configure my
system to hopefully detect my WLAN on startup and changed
my /etc/network/interfaces to:

// Code starts here:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet static
#	address 192.168.2.3
#	netmask 255.255.255.0
#	network 192.168.2.0
#	broadcast 192.168.2.255
#	gateway 192.168.2.1
#	# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if
installed
#	dns-nameservers 194.25.2.129auto eth0

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
#	address 192.168.2.3
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	network 192.168.2.0
	broadcast 192.168.2.255
	gateway 192.168.2.1
	# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
	dns-nameservers 194.25.2.129
	wireless_keymode XXX
	wireless_key XXX
	wireless_essid XXX

// Code ends here.

After startup is still have to call ifup to get my stuff working. Any
ideas how to change that??

BTW, where would i put a file like local.start and is "local.start" the
correct name in this distribution or is there another file to configure
stuff that should run on startup with root privileges?

Thanks in advance
André
