I do have a file called "if-up-wireless" and a "ifcfg-eth0", although I think that is the hub and not the dongle. "if-up-wireless" does not appear to be the same file as "ifcfg-wlan0" on your instruction sheet. It contains only the following variables: MODE ESSID NWID FREQ CHANNEL SENS RATE KEY RTS FRAG SPYIPS IWCONFIG IWPRIV Followed by a string of "IF" statements for the above variables.
