Yep... you need to create a /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-wlan0
with somthing like this:
--------------------------------------------------------
DEVICE=wlan0
IPADDR=192.168.2.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.2.0
BROADCAST=192.168.2.255
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ENABLE=yes
sh /usr/bin/loadUSBwifi.sh
sleep 3
iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc
iwconfig wlan0 essid "Sorry_my_fingers_refuse_to_type_your_ESSID"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where the /usr/bin/loadUSBwifi.sh script just loads the usb and zd modules.
You can always try manually with udhcpc -i wlan0
Hope it helps.
