Hi, my wireless card works well with wpa_supplicant, on DSL installed on HD.
How I can run my wireless with wpa_supplicant persistent on boot?
Thanks..

Add the commands to /opt/bootlocal.sh

Add the commands to /opt/bootlocal.sh

I've tried more and more but something wrong.
My /opt/bootlocal.sh is the following.

#!/bin/bash
# put other system startup command here
loadkeys it
ndiswrapper -i /home/dsl/Driver_pci/WlanCTG.inf
ndiswrapper -i /home/dsl/Driver_usb/WlanUTG.INF
ndiswrapper -l
modprobe -r ndiswrapper
modprobe ndiswrapper
iwconfig wlan0 essid TANA
wpa_supplicant -B -Dndiswrapper -i wlan0 -c /home/dsl/wpa_supplicant.conf
pump -i wlan0


I load two drivers because I want to make a remaster cd for all my computer with that 2 type of wifi card.
Both the cards work well if I write the commands on shell.
It seems like modprobe ndiswrapper needs more time to work...
How can I put a pause of 10 seconds before iwconfig?
Or is it something wrong else in my bootlocal.sh?

Yeah, a 10 seconds pause resolves my problems, all seems to work now...
Thanks...

I'll try better on all my pcs when I have more time.
Now I have to try to make a MyDSL remaster cd.

But I have another question.
After driver load of ndiswrapper I see a note (or I don't think this is an error) .

<4>ndiswrapper (ExAllocatePoolWithTag:1180): Windows driver allocating 781216 bytes in atomic context
<4>ndiswrapper (ExAllocatePoolWithTag:1180): Windows driver allocating 201600 bytes in atomic context
<4>ndiswrapper (ExAllocatePoolWithTag:1180): Windows driver allocating 593920 bytes in atomic context

this is the note that i colud see in my dmesg.
Is it only a note that inform me how much is memory allocation?
Or is it a kind of advise that say me to allocate less memory? Or something else maybe....

:laugh:

I've tried to Remaster MyDSL cd, but DSL after burn the generated iso doesn't contains my modify to bootlocal.sh and all my other files (like wpa_supplicant and wifi drivers) on /home/dsl directory.
How can I burn my modify to bootlocal.sh and wpa_supplicant on remastered cd?
