Wireless Network Config Not Saving

[superscienceguy]

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:

Code: Select all

# UNPLUGGED="false" #Line 198 Remove # in column 1 to uncomment.

Give it a try, see if it works.

hi
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

This fix only applies to ethx wireless - not wlanx

What??? Please, delete that. It will confuse other users.

That workaround applies to any interface that fails to load.

[superscienceguy]

dhcpcd ${INTERFACE}

Above find what my line 198 is. It appears that it is already uncommented.

Could you be more specific about 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.

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.
