This is actually in the UCI folder, not system, but it is drivers so....

While connected with my ethernet adapter, I downloaded the madwifi-ng uci.

I copied it from the /tmp directory to my /home/dsl on hda3.

I rebooted with my wireless card installed.

I did a local install of madwifi.  I see the /opt/madwifi-ng-2.4.26 directory.

I try to run the madwifi_setup.sh script.

Won't go.  Not with sudo.  Not as root (sudo su).  And of course not as user dsl.

I get a

bash: ./madwifi_setup.sh Permission denied

I tried, as root, to chmod +x madwifi_setup.sh

And get told off that madwifi_setup.sh is a Read-only file system

help?

Please?
:(

Madwifi was recently updated in DSL v3.2 see the Notes (change log) section.

So how do I tell what version of madwifi is in 3.3.?

And I see a new version of DSL is up.  So now I get to download it and learn how to update my Frugal on HD install.  I saw something about it in the wiki.....

Still doesn't answer the question about not having permission to run the madwifi_setup.sh, but it seems like that was for the best?

dslrgm,

You would run the command like this "sh ./madwifi_setup.sh" - I am thinking that was one I had made up, but forgot to make the script executable.
