[ALUG] Laptop wifi help - need to automate dhclient

I have a laptop running Kubuntu 6.10, which is recognising its 3Com
wireless USB dongle (3CRUSB10075) using ndiswrapper. When I run
"dhclient eth1" it even gets itself an IP address and seems to work fine.

Where I'm stuck is getting it to run dhclient itself automatically when
the WLAN dongle is connected.

The laptop is for a customer who is collecting it this afternoon, so I'm
hoping for some quick suggestions if anyone has any.

[Apologies to any PLUG subscribers who are here also for the
duplication, I'm hoping for a wider audience given the limited timescale
I have to get this working.]
