[opensuse] problems with RangePlus WUSB 100 Wireless USB adapter



Hi All

I've purchased a router and it comes with the RangePlus USB adapter. I've had
it a while and am just now trying to get it working on my laptop. I am using
opensuse 12.1 and KDE 4.7.2

After many hours of frustration and googling, I discovered that I can get my
laptop to "see" the device by running the following commands as root:

modprobe -v rt2800usb
echo "1737 0078" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2800usb/new_id


I can then use the device by manually setting the network in yast. It will
then work until I switch off the system but I have to run the command each
time I start my laptop.

My problems are twofold.

1.
a) how can I setup my laptop so that the settings are remembered?

or

b) how can I setup my laptop so that the module is loaded and the "echo"
command are run at bootup or whenever I plug in the adapter?

2. if I attempt to use a network manager, it displays the wireless device as
being disabled. How can I get the network manager to use the device?

Thanks in advance
Eddie
