[SOLVED] Execute piece of code at every boot

Hi all.

My laptop has the rtl8187 wireless, but it is a little unstable.
To make it work good, this command helps:

as root:
$  iwconfig wlan0 rate 24.0M fixed

But its annoying at every boot, to log in as root at execute that command.
Im starting my X with .xinitrc (startx), so I could just put in a "sudo iwconfig wlan0... etc" and make sure my user can sudo iwconfig without asking for password.

But isnt there a better way? Maybe put it in the rc.conf file somehow? Or even better: Im using WICD as 'networkmanager' - is there some files I could paste the fix-code into, so at every connect it execute the fix-code?

Best regards

Yes, maybe. Can it run before wicd has established the connectin?

Yes it can Have just tested it, and it works, even before Wicd gets startet and is connected.

Thanks, both of you.
