newbie needs help: Hotplugging for DWL-650+

Hello,

i haven't found any similar topics describing the problem.

I have a DWL-650+ wlan-card running on a tecra 8100 and i have no problems getting it up manually by typing:

modprobe ndiswrapper
iwconfig wlan0 essid "MyESSID"
iwconfig wlan0 key mykey

Now i want to load it automatically using hotplug but i've no idea how to do. :cry:

Could somebody help me?

I've running a 2.4.26-r14 gentoo kernel, ndiswrapper 0.12 r3 and hotplug 20040923

I got this working by in /etc/conf.d/ there is a file called wireless.example. Copy this to a file called wireless and then put the entires you mentioned in there.

After this my wireless tecra 8100 was running like a dream!!

ps - Have you got ACPI working???
