How to autoconnect wifi trendnet tew-401pc+ at boot
Posted: Thu 23 Feb 2006, 23:03
installed this wifi card on my p3 thinkpad from the live cd. It has a broadcom chipset with bcmwl5a.inf driver for ndiswrapper.
have installed 1.0.8 on to hd and each time I boot I have to run wag with a haphazard result. seems to pick up the card only if before I seat it, i physically remove and reinsert the pc card. then it actually is able to see the network .next, I toggle the dhcp to run and then I'm off to mozilla.
what I would like to know is:
1. is there a better and quicker way to get this wifi connected each boot and
2. is there a way to save the settings truly so that the card connects automatically with each boot as most other systems do so I don't have to use wag each time I boot up
I'm not a wiz on the command line so please be as clear as possible in that regard
a pre-thanks to all
