About a month ago, I left a message regarding not being able to start a usb
wireless device on boot, and I was hoping to find a command to start it (suse
9.3). As often happens, I go no response. I don't know if no one knew the
answer, or if those that did thought it was a stupid quiestion, or if it is
clearly stated in the doc (from one trying to free oneself from the newbie
status-no linux doc is direct, clear, with examples, etc.-this will be the
linux failing- to achieve major market share), and I should have rtfm.
Testing the test of insanity, I will again try go get some assistance. I
fount /etc/usc/50-usb.hotplug, and ran it with the error:
line 40: ACTION: Bad invocation: $ACTION is not set
I attempted to assign "add" to $action using export, with no sucess
(as best as I can figure out, export in linus is like set in dos)
If I unplug it, then plug it in, the light on the usb device comes on and I
can access the net.
If I can't solve the bootup issue, I would at least like to create a batch
file - - uh, I mean script, that will start the usb device.
Now I am plugging/unplugging the device every day, wearing down the gold on
the connector until, alas, there will be no more.
tia,
