Subject:   Configuring Cisco Aironet 350 wireless card
Message-ID:  <420008E5000E20D3@ims3e.cp.tin.it>

I have the card in re (an driver, ancontrol managing program) which I wan=
t
to be configured automatically when inserted.
Now, in rc.conf I have:

devd_enable=3D"YES"
pccard_enable=3D"YES"
ifconfig_an0=3D"NO"
pccard_removable=3D"an0"

The script I want to be executed is /etc/start_if.an0

ancontrol -i an0 -c 11
ancontrol -i an0 -t 0
ancontrol -i an0 -o 1
ancontrol -i an0  -W 0
ancontrol -i an0 -l "Laptop_BSD" 
ancontrol -i an0 -n "victor_wireless"
ifconfig an0 ssid "FreeBSD"
ifconfig an0 192.168.1.8

Now it happens that when I boot with the card inserted it all goes smooth=
ly
and I find the Aironet 350 configured and the an0 lively up and running

*** whilst *** 
if I insert the card in a session as root or another user the card is rec=
ognized
by the system but the /etc/start_if.an0 script isn't triggered therefore
I havbe to launch it manually.

What should I do?
