Profile <profile_name> does not exist

I've got a fresh install and I can get my wireless up and running by commands.

ifconfig eth0 up
iwconfig eth0 essid mywlan
wpa_supplicant...
dhcpcd eth0

and as the Network_tutorial suggests, I created a mhrwlan file in /etc/network.d/ with the following content:

CONNECTION="wireless"
INTERFACE=eth
SCAN="yes"
SECURITY="wpa"
ESSID=mywlan
KEY="SomePasskey"
IP="dhcp"

but after issuing:
netcfg /etc/network.d/mhrwlan
I get :
Profile "/etc/network.d/mhrwlan" does not exist

Please tell me what's wrong.

Just use 'netcfg mhrwlan'.

Thanx, it did the trick, But could you also tell me where exactly should I invoke this command to avoid running it each time the computer boots up?
should I put it in /etc/rc.local or sth?
