Edit /etc/sudoers and add:

username ALL= NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/ner.wlan0

Where username is his login. To run it:
sudo /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart

Hi,
   We have a machine here, my son's, which runs Gentoo and uses (I
think) a D-Link 802.11abg NIC:

03:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5005G
802.11abg NIC (rev 01)

   The setup uses ndiswrapper to load the Windows driver. For some
reason this NIC seems to go off line quite a bit - maybe once a day.
I'm assuming that this is caused by the Windows driver & ndiswrapper
having some sort of problem that is probably light years beyond my
ability to debug. However running /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart always
seems to get it going again.

   How can I set up the system to allow my son to run this command
himself as a user? It appears that the script itself is runnable by a
user, but when we try it I get a message that only root can run init
scripts.

Sector9 ~ # ls -al /etc/init.d/net.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     6 Sep 16 10:14 /etc/init.d/net.eth0 -> net.lo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30341 Sep 16 10:27 /etc/init.d/net.lo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     6 Jul 29 11:31 /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 -> net.lo
Sector9 ~ #

   Is there an easy way to make this one script runnable by my son so
that when I'm not around he can get things going again?

   On the other hand if there is an Open Source Linux driver for this
card I'd love to install that  but I don't know of one.

Thanks,
Mark
