Loading kernel modules for usb stick

[Rainer Dorsch <rdorsch@web.de>]

Hello,

I got a D-link DWL-G122 today. It was easy to get that working under etch. For 
reference, if anybody has a similar problem:

  # module-assistant prepare               # May not be needed
  # module-assistant get rt2x00
  # module-assistant build rt2x00

topsi:~# cd /usr/src/
topsi:/usr/src# dpkg -i 
rt2x00-modules-2.6.18-4-686_0cvs20060928-1+2.6.18.dfsg.1-11_i386.deb  

# modprobe rt2500usb

in /etc/network/interfaces:
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
         wpa-ssid xxxxxxxxx
         wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
         wpa-psk xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
         wpa-driver wext



The only problem which is left, is that the kernel module is not loaded 
automatically, when the usb wlan adapter is plugged in. Is there any database 
where I could enter the wlan adapter id, to get the rt2500usb automatically 
loaded for the usb adpater? Should I submit my addition to anybody to have 
the wlan adapter supported out of the box?

Thanks,
Rainer

Many thanks,
Rainer
