Re: USB wireless adapter auto startup

[BenLau <ben.lau@sw-linux.com>]

hi,

  Finally I put the following line into /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap

wlan 0x0003 0x2c02 0x14ea 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
0x00000000

and write a script (/etc/hotplug/usb/wlan) to let it call "ifup wlan0",
then it work!

Thanks
