Wireless Network Config Not Saving
I successfully access my network wirelessly. However, each time I reboot I must reconfigure. I'm quite quick at it, but wondering how I can have it save its configuration. It claims that it saves the config each time to use at reboot, but it is not.
Is there an easy fix or do I need to modify a file?

This is a bug that many have seen. One person reported a work-around: go into /etc/rc.d/rc.network and uncomment the line that says this:
Give it a try, see if it works.
Code: Select all
# UNPLUGGED="false" #Line 198 Remove # in column 1 to uncomment.

Hi
modprobe ndiswrapper
iwconfig wlan0 essid mynet channel 6 key mykey
rm /etc/dhcpc/*.pid # remove any leftover process id files
dhcpcd -t 10 -d wlan0
add to end of/etc/rc.d/rc.local works fine for me , I used to have to load profile in WAG to pick up the key
cheers

That workaround applies to any interface that fails to load.

my line 198
dhcpcd ${INTERFACE}
Above find what my line 198 is. It appears that it is already uncommented.

Re: the end?
Open the file in geany use the arrow keys to move as far down the page as you can, enter a blank line for good luck and then paste/type away.superscienceguy wrote:Could you be more specific about the "end"?
I'd appreciate if you can test my latest change to the rc.network startup script.
It is meant to fix the problem reported in this threads. I want to know if it really fixes it. or if just fixes some and some other people require a different fix.
