Other Help Topics :: How to edit Module Utility file (noobie)

I need to change an alias directive contained in /etc/modutils/linux-wlan-ng but permission is denied. The alias reads wlan0 prism2_pci however i need to change pci to usb inasmuch as i am trying to use a usb wireless network adapter ie Linksys wusb11 ver 2.5. Can someone tell me how to edit this locked up file. Many thanks. Please see /etc/modules.conf for more info (near bottom of file).

Root Permission is required by text editor to save changes in /etc/modutils/linux-wlan-ng file.
Not problem, follow this procedure:

Launch Beaver (text editor) with root permission so: Open Xterminal and write this two commands:

sudo su

beaver

Browser to /etc/modutils/, open linux-wlan-ng file, edit it and save changes.

Many Thanks for your help. I managed to get by permission denied but now i am confronted with Read Only File System.
Please help furthur if you can.

Are you using a livecd or a frugal install? If so, open a terminal window and type:

sudo su
rm /etc/modutils/linux-wlan-ng
cp /KNOPPIX/etc/modutils/linux-wlan-ng /etc/modutils/linux-wlan-ng
beaver /etc/modutils/linux-wlan-ng

This didnt lead to a solution. I did find a linux driver for the adapter. Please advise me correct way to unzip the gz file and then install the driver. Thanks again. Also where can i find Man Page Update- Modules
