DSL Tips and Tricks :: can,t save wireless card settings

hello to you all,

Every time when i reboot dsl, my settings are lost i tried the: dsl mydsl=hda1 restore=hda1 command at starting up < with the cd rom, otherwise i see no command > then do restore in the dsl control panel. but every time i have to put in all my settings including email. and the networkcard settings
after reading and trying and searching a lot still no result.
also my laptop hangs after a minute or 5 when i don,t use anything,

perhaps someone has a idea?

tnx

The wireless card settings are written to a script that is in /opt You must put the path to that script in /opt/bootlocal.sh to make them reload at boot eveytime.

myiwconfig.sh is the name of the file foundin /opt
Here is a sample of mine.

Code Sample

#!/bin/bash
# /usr/local/bin/iwconfig.sh ra0 essid My_WIFI_NET key 12345678901234567890123456 mode Managed
#
# *******************
# ** DEFUALT VALUE **
# *******************
/usr/local/bin/iwconfig.sh ra0 6 My_WIFI_NET 12345678901234567890123456
#

ok thanks i, have to put that in after the boot command with the cd rom loaded?

also my emailsettings are lost as wel, same way?

All of your changes get saved to a file called backup.tar.gz
Where are you saving that file?
If you are opening the Backup/Restore button in the DSL panel and just clicking the button then the file are going to the default /tmp directory which is just temporary. You need to change that directory to something permanent, like a pendrive, or a FAT or Linux formatted hard drive partition, or something that will store the file.
Also, what version of DSL are you using, because the latest versions prompt you to save when you shut down.
