That all works great, the problem is it only works when net.wlan0 is started. I'm told I: "need to load the modules and setup the interface for your card" because that's probably what net.wlan0 does. I tried to look through net.wlan0 but I'm lost in there. Any idea what I might need to do that net.wlan0 usually does for me? - Grant
