I have a board I bought a year ago or so and I just recently bought 
two more boards. 7200's. They are all being used for educational 
robots at a University. 
This should be very easy questions:

I have a Netgear USB wireless card that came with the board. I 
changed Redboot to auto boot off of the 
flash drive. To get the wireless to work I have to put in the 
following 
commands:

ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.2
iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc
iwconfig wlan0 essid robot

which takes down eth0 brings up wlan0 and allows me to connect my 
robot to my laptop without the cables.  

I want this to automatically to be done when the board boots. I 
tried to 
put the commands in /etc/wireless/interfaces  but it didn't work. I 
might 
have just butchered the format, but when I restarted the network it 
said 
it didn't know what wlan0 was. 

Any ideas?

My other command I have to put in, which I'm not sure where to put 
to load during boot is:
stty 9600 << /dev/ttAM1

I have a servo controller that runs off com2 at 9600 baud.

Thanks
