[driverloader] How to load wireless at startup?

[Linuxant support]

Hi,

if the alias is present in '/etc/modules.conf', driverloader is loaded
automatically when you start your wireless interface. Consequently, if you
set the interface to start on boot, the module will also be loaded on boot.

To set the interface to start on boot, you must configure it properly using
your Linux distribution's network configuration tools. With some
distributions, you can edit '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-...'
manually and set "ONBOOT=yes".

If you only want to load the module on boot and not the interface, you can
add "modprobe driverloader" to '/etc/rc.local' or simply put "driverloader"
in '/etc/modules'.

I have driverloader working with a D-Link 650+ and Dell Inspiron 2650.  I
have to type
in /sbin/dhcpcd eth1 and ifup eth1 to start the service.  How can I automate
this so that
it runs upon system startup (I always have my wireless card in the slot)?
Any help
is appreciated!  Thank you.
