Hi All,
I am one of the lucky laptop owners with a wireless network card that
the manufacturers supply a Linux driver for, Ralink Technology.
The driver comes in a tarball and when compiled the driver is rt2860sta.ko
I currently load this driver with a script as follows:
#! /bin/bash
# Script to load and activate ra0 wireless driver
sudo /sbin/insmod
/home/graeme/Download/2008_0918_RT2860_Linux_STA_v1.8.0.0/os/linux/rt2860sta.ko
sudo /sbin/ifconfig ra0 up
I used NetworkManager to configure ra0 for my AP and after that
NetworkManager automatically connects to my AP as soon as I activate the
driver with the above script.
My question to the list is; How can I load and activate the driver as
the machine boots? In what directory do I put the driver?

Kind regards,
Graeme Nichols.
