Netcfg2

Hi, i have wireless internet, and im using the RT73 drivers (from serialmonkey) but what i do to get internet up is run these in a bash script:

ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig wlan0 10.1.1.101
ifconfig wlan0 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig wlan0 broadcast 10.1.1.255
ifconfig wlan0 network 10.1.1.1
ifconfig wlan0 gateway 10.1.1.1
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid belkin54g
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
iwpriv wlan0 set Channel=11
iwpriv wlan0 auth 3
iwpriv wlan0 enc 3
iwpriv wlan0 wpapsk passhere
ifconfig wlan0 up
route add default gw 10.1.1.1

I cannot seem to get a netcfg2 profile to work, here is what i have for that:

CONNECTION="wireless"

INTERFACE=wlan0
HOSTNAME=CainsPc
IP="static"
IFOPTS="10.1.1.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.1.1.255"
GATEWAY="10.1.1.1"
DNS1="10.1.1.1"

ESSID=belkin54g
SECURITY=wpa_config
KEY="passgoeshere"

SCAN="YES"
TIMEOUT=10
IWOPTS="rate 54M mode managed channel 11"

what am i doing wrong?

Re: Netcfg2

Read the Network Profiles wiki page - there's a note about rt73.

I'd recommend changing to the rt73usb driver, which is now provided by the kernel, and is fully supported by netcfg2.
