Add nodhcp to your lilo or grub to avoid the dhcp request.

This works. Thanks.

Can you please tell me which file I should modify so that my Prism2 drivers will keep my settings?

My wifi works wonderfully when I click the control panel, Prism2, enter my stuff and my wep key... but its getting annoying.

btw, its a hard drive install

I believe that when you enter networking information into a DSL config dialog box that the info is stored to a file. When I boot, cardmgr prints out my card's info: WEP, SSID, etc. My problem was that my networking info (IP address, gateway, DNS, etc.) was stored but was not being used since the boot script launched into DHCP rather than using my static IP, etc.

If that is your problem, just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add nodhcp to the kernel boot line.

Im not sure where to check if the settings are saved, but every time I click the Prism2 button, a window with blank boxes pop up so I am assuming it doesn't save anything.

Found it
/opt/myprism2.sh

It has all the information in it even after a reboot. However, I don't know how to use that as I don't think its an issue with the DHCP and im assuime its an issue reguarding loading the settings...

found this, http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....t=14067 trying now.

I'm having a similiar situation, except I don't have either a "myprisim2.sh" or a "myiwconfig.sh" in my opt directory. I can't seem to find where my wireless settings are saved. I have a netgear wireless card that works well when I go through the "wlcardconfig" in the fluxbox menu, or the wlanconfig in the control panel, but there is nothing saved in /opt. Am I missing something?
