How do I automate the following 3 commands?

[evans62]

I finally got my wireless to work but I have to do the following commands everytime I start up:

sudo ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.41

sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1

sudo iwconfig wlan0 key abcdefg


If I use Wireless Assistant or WICD to do this I lock up the computer.

If I use Configure Network Connections it always forgets the default route or sets the static IP back to 169.xx.xx.xx.

thnx

Re: How do I automate the following 3 commands?

why don't you try editing the /etc/network/interfaces like below

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces.
# They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.
mapping hotplug
    script grep
    map wlan0

# The primary network interface
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
    address 192.168.1.41
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 192.168.0.0
    broadcast 192.168.0.255
    gateway 192.168.1.1

Thanks, that seemed to automate everything except for the

sudo iwconfig wlan0 key aabcdefghij



Can I add this in the same file?
