[driverloader] dldrconfig must be run after every reboot to enable wireless device

[Akshay Rao]

hi all,
i'm having a similar issue. i'm running debian (2.6.8-rc1).
HOW DO I GET THE WIRELESS INTERFACE TO COME UP ON BOOT??
like you said Jean i've "driverloader" in my /etc/modules but it won't bring 
up the interface. how do i make my interface (eth2) to be recognized on 
boot??

thanks.
