I have DSL booting from Compact Flash, I finally got a PCMCIA wireless card to work (Gave up on SMC2532 with NDISWRAPPER, wasted days on this, bought a Dlink G650, worked out of the box

Anyhow, I opened .filetool.lst and added the line:

opt/myiwconfig.sh

... thinking this would save my wireless settings. I checked the myiwconfig.sh file, and it contained the correct channel and WEP settings.

Then, as per Dillo, I ran the backup button on the DSLpanel, and specified HDC1 (the CF card). The backup.tar.gz appeared in the /

I rebooted and expected the wireless card to come alive, but it doesn't.

I really don't understand the cheatcodes part of the instructions, possibly this is the missing link. Can anyone explain this to a dumb newbie?

You are saving it, but not executing it.
Add /opt/myiwconfig.sh to your /opt/bootlocal.sh
Then it should execute and bring up your wireless connection.
