well, i had a topik listed here regarding how i was able to get my wireless working on dsl 1.5, but not 2.0...

but, tonite, as i was exploring....i found out how to do it, i had to do a boot in Expert mode, go thru the default settings....and once the OS loaded, i got to the dsl control panel, netcard config, and input my laptop ip setting, gateway,, etc..then to the prism2 and made sure i had wlan and the SID correct, now it runs fine...

now my only question is how, IN STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS, on how to save that config so i can reload or reboot with that disk anytime, including saveing all those apps i have downloaded...

the instructions for newbies like me to linux are a bit vague regarding the .filetool.lst and how to save to it...

any help would be appreciated.

Just let me try to understand your setup.
It appears that you are running a static IP on a wireless prsim2 device?

i have a standard dsl modem, i have a microsoft wireless base station hooked up to the modem.

i have the mn-520 microsoft wireless card in my laptop, my provider is verizon and they use dhcp, no static ip.

Then may I assume that a Microsoft base station does not respond to a dhcp request?

If you boot your system with
dsl nodhcp

Then go directly to the Prism2 GUI and enter your info.
This should work if the base station responds to dhcp requests.

Then the prism2 gui creates a myprism2.sh script, which can be added to your filetool.lst for persistenancy.

all i know is that when i booted with the 1.5 disk, the prism2 button works almost immediately, and im on the the net..

when i first tried the 2.0 disk, the opening boot sequence shows that the system is trying to use the card manager to get the wireless info, but it stops and says that it cant because the item is temporarily unavailable.

so, when i reboot now, and login as 'expert', i just go step by step, accepting all the defaults, im then able to get to the desktop, and go thru the control panel to set it up....

but, as the second part of my question goes, im not sure how to save these configs...

for example, i have a multisession puppy linux cd allows me to boot up, remove the cd from the drive and used other disks in that drive, then when i am done, i put the puppy linux cd back in, shutdown and it saves my session to the cd so it can reboot to that one when i use it again....

isnt that possible with dsl 2.0?  how do i save my config?  for example, after i originally go the wireless up, i downloaded some apps and there they were on the desktop, but i dont know how to save them...is this only possible by installing to the hd???
