Wireless Keyboard & Grub

by rob groh . Updated 19 years, 6 months ago

I just received an HP wireless keyboard and mouse for Christmas. They work well in Windows XP, Server 2003, and Red Hat Fedora Core 6 Linux. I have a box with all three on it.

The problem with this system is that grub is the boot loader. Since grub loads before the Linux drivers do, the wireless is nonfunctional during the boot sequence.

Can anyone tell me which module loads in Linux to power the wireless, and if script can be added to grub to load that driver before going to the boot menu? (An example of the script needed wouldn’t hurt).

Thanks,
Rob
