I have 5.3 with persistent Knoppix, it saves OK and connects to the internet OK but will not properly save the Wlan0 setup. When booted up it shows Etho disconnected and Wlan0 disconnected icon on the bottom bar. I click on the small penguin and then Network/ Internet Configuration and get network check and then click to connect Wlan0 it comes up connected and then disconnected followed by network check and from there I have to go through all the configuration some times only so far through the configuration and sometimes all the way through it. I can save everything else so is there a way of saving this without all the hastle?

Try to append the following code at the end of your knoppix.sh file in your hard disk



iwconfig wlan0 essid BTHomeHub-7D1C
sleep 3
ifconfig wlan0 up
sleep 3
pump -i wlan0


Save the file and then reboot. The wireless connect should be established.

For more information, you can reference to Q3 on the following FAQ

http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Network_Wireless_for_Knoppix_5.1.1_FAQ

You can add the code in another location too. But this time you need to create a shell script file

1. Go to /home/knoppix/.kde/Autostart directory

2. Create a file called start-wlan0.sh

3. add the above code into the file and then save the file.

4. change the file attribute to executable
$ chmod 755 start-wlan0.sh

After the reboot, the wireless should be ok.
