Sorry Newbie here. I am trying to get my WIFI working and don’t like what I have to do to get it to work.

1) Rename my AP’s SSID to "linux-wlan".
2) Disable any WEP on my AP.
3) Reset my AP.
4) Start the computer running Knoppix with WIFI device installed (I have a D-Link DWL-650 PCMCIA WIFI Card).

After doing all this, I am up and running. Don’t like it one bit.

I am pretty sure I can change the settings in “etc/pcmaia/wlan-ng.opts” but then of course I cannot save them to CD.

How can I make the necessary changes to Knoppix without changing my AP’s setting? Is there a way to have the changes affect future boots (would prefer to still boot from CD)?

TIA

Jim H
