Flaky Control PanelForum: Networking Topic: Flaky Control Panel started by: klasact Posted by klasact on June 24 2006,22:58
The desktop Control Panel in my Damn Small Linux distro shows an incorrect "channel number" and no "SSID" number for Prism 2 Setup (wireless USB adaptor). When I enter the correct info I get connected to the internet. HOWEVER the correct info is not retained and the incorrect info is returned to the control panel. I believe info entered into a control panel should be retained until it is changed or deleted. Anyone experience this strange behavior and/or have a solution to making changes permanent in DSL control panel. Many thanks.

That is a template used in the Prism Control Panel.Once you have entered your specific information and it works, then look in /opt directory. The control panel created a specific script with your settings. It should be called myprism2.sh. You can then either call that from /opt/bootlocal.sh or copy the contents to /opt/bootlocal.sh. That way your wireless settings will persist. Posted by klasact on June 26 2006,18:52
I found My Prism2.SH and it opened in Beaver. I selected the line that contains my wireless info. I clicked Copy under EDIT and beaver confirmed transfer of the selected line to the clipboard. I then opened Bootlocal.SH in beaver and placed the cursor. Then I clicked Paste under Edit but nothing happened. I made various attempts to Paste without success Obviously I am a noob. Please help me furthur. Thanks
