Networking :: Script for Wlanconfig restore and Kismet?
Hi there, I'm facing a problem with my WLAN-configuration. I hope somebody can help.
Made a HD-install of DSL 3.2, got my DLINK DWL-G650 v4 to work, installed kismet.dsl (Great work!) via MyDSL and everything is workink fine - until the next reboot. When I reboot my laptop it restores a backup from hda1 but not the WLAN-settings and the installation of Kismet!
After booting I run Wlanconfig, doing sudo pump -i ath0 and the card connects with my WLAN. Then I have to reinstall Kismet to use it. Is it possible to store the state of the configured WLAN-card and installed Kismet so that I can use it after booting? The Kismet configuration and the entries in Wlanconfig (/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts) are stored, but I have to run WLANconfig and the installation after every reboot!
I tried to find the /opt/myiwconfig.sh to add a line to the bootlocal.sh but its missing! What am I doing wrong? What did I forget?
Thanks,
Mathes
Edit: Sorry, missing/wrong information. Kismet is an UCI-Extension ... How to reload after boot?OK, solved one problem: Kismet. I should have used the search more exesive before asking .... Sorry UCI's are not installed, they are kind of mounted. I added "mydsl-load /tmp/kismet-2006-04-R1.uci" to bootlocal.sh - and now i have kismet ready to use right from the start.
But the WLAN problem is still unsolved ...

It's generated after running wlanconfig once, so save it after. (then add it to bootlocal.sh after loading kismet)Thanks for the yelp - I know that it should be created after running wlanconfig from DSLpanel, but it's not there!!! Can anybody post an example of the script, so that I can modify it for my WLAN? Thet wuld be great!
Thanks!Typically a hard drive installed system changes like that should persist..
However the system by default at boot up is requesting a dynamic IP via a pump -i eth0.
But your's is ath0
1. I would add nodhcp to the boot options. 2. I would try adding pump -i ath0 to /opt/bootlocal.shNext Page...
