How is the netcardconfig button from the dsl panel intended to work in 3.4.x?

The reason I ask is that on my old desktop I am obliged to use netcardconfig a couple of times a day to reconnect it to the router - I don't know why it disconnects. When I bring up netcardconfig, I click on the dhcp radio button, click on apply and click on exit - somewhere in this a question is asked about saving settings to which I presume I have effectively answered yes, but the next time I use netcardconfig I have to click on the dhcp button again.

Obviously having to click on one radio button is not a big deal, but shouldn't the choice be saved or I have I misunderstood?

Note that this is with dsl-3.4.8 but I presume it is the same as dsl-3.4.9
It, netcardconf.lua, suffers from being developed for 4.x.
Lines 211 and 212 reveal that it is expecting .filetool.lst to be located in /opt, a 4.x feature, and not in ~/ as required for 3.x.

This is starting to show the stress of  handling two distributions. I need to start to simply and reduce the workload.
Hopefully moving forward I will be able to simplify. I need to close the book on 3.x.
