Hi,
I am using a USB-Bootable Damn Small Linux with Linux Kernel 2.4.26. Since we use a script to install the Wireless LAN card driver, I have to give IP manually (or by a script) after booting stage. How can I get network configuration from DHCP manually? I am using the wlan0 network interface.

the script you want to add the commands for your wireless card to is /opt/bootlocal.sh, it will run upon bootup.

Thanks for your interest. We have modified the bootlocal.sh so as to install the wireless card and made it, but we cannot take IP via dhcp since no dhcp command seems to exist in DSL (at least we couldn't see any such command by double-tabbing in the shell)

Try using the command

pump -i wlan0

at the end of your script
