HD Install :: saving wifi settings

OK, this is incredibly sloppy, but here's how I got it to persist the wifi settings.

I put the following commands in /opt/bootlocal.sh

ifdown eth0
iwconfig eth0 mode Managed
iwconfig eth0 esside <MyNetworkName>
ifup eth0

It works - gives some multicast errors on boot, but now I can give my neighbor his computer back with it automagically getting on the internet on boot.

Cool. Sorry, I can't think of a better way myself. Try the irc room on irc.freenode.net in channel #damnsmalllinux
