I created a script called myiwconfig.sh

Code Sample

#!/bin/sh
#
# Script to set up wireless card
# beakmyn@frontiernet.net
#

# Set display so that script will effect the local screen
export DISPLAY=:0

sudo iwconfig eth0 essid "Your Essid" enc DE:AD:BE:EF:41

#sudo ifconfig eth0 10.10.0.10
#sudo route add default gw 10.10.0.1

sudo pump -i eth0
exit 0

then added the following to bootlocal.sh

Code Sample

/opt/myiwconfig.sh

If you have used any of the gui setup programs then the custom script, myiwconfig, myndis, or myprism2, is already made for you in /opt directory.

If you are running a later version of DSL you are prompt to automatically have the auto-generated script saved in /opt/bootlocal.sh
