I can add an insmod /any_directory/zd_b.o (which I downloaded from the 
www.embeddedarm.com site) to bring up the radio automatically.

The problem is iwconfig.  When I run iwconfig, with the rest of iwtools in the 
same directory, I get the following error:

./iwconfig: error while loading shared libraries: libiw.so.28: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory

The 'libiw.so.28' file is sitting in the same directory as iwconfig, and I've 
also copied it into the /lib directory, but no go.


The other thing to try is bypassing iwconfig altogether, and creating an 
ifcfg-wlan0 file that tells the radio to connect with the IP address that I 
want to the Ad-Hoc network that I want.  Any clues on syntax?  Right now, my 
/etc/sysconfig/efcfg-wlan0 file looks like:

DEVICE=wlan0
IPADDR=192.168.0.52
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
ESSID=climbing-pc
MODE=Ad-Hoc
BOOTPROTO=STATIC
ENABLE=no

I made enable=no so that I could run:

$loadUSBModules.sh
$insmod /home/zd_b.o

before bringing up wlan0 with:

$ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.52 up

After doing this though, I can't ping in or out.  I know I'm close.....
