wireless card (acx chipset) problem

ok i can only connect to my router through my card if i do these steps

modprobe -r acx
cd Desktop/
tar -xvjf acx-20080210.tar.bz2  # previously downloaded
cd acx-20080210
make
insmod acx.ko
iwconfig wlan1 essid blahblah keys *insert-key-here*
ifconfig wlan1 up
dhcpcd wlan1
ping -c 3 www.google.com

i can connect to the internet fine after this.

But the problem is i have to do this every time to reboot.

does anybody know why i need to keep loading up my acx driver?

it always give me an insmod: cannot insert acx.ko -1 file exist error. # happens after rebooting

if there is a way to fix this it would be great if someone helps me on it.

cuz right now im thinking on scripting this whole thing, its just too much typing.

--thnx in advance.

Re: wireless card (acx chipset) problem

You haven't installed the module into the correct location.  When you have run the make command, run

sudo make install

This should install the module correctly.  Once you have done that, add the acx module into the modules array in /etc/rc.conf, and you should be able to then use netcfg (as per the wiki) to automate the initialisation of your wireless connection on boot.
