I don't have setting the mode anywhere in the script. I just get iwconfig errors when trying to set the mode.
--edit--
disregard that, mode seems to be working okay for me. I'll add it to the next update.

maddox, I figured that's what you meant. I updated to 0.6.1 which adds "mode" to the iwconfig options.

it's missing the last character (nber 7) of the ESSID |
That's a known problem with older versions of the Ralink drivers. I contributed the fixed version of the rt2570 driver (compatible with Puppy2.17) here -

hello plinej,
After installing the 2 pets (new-network wizard & rt2570) things have changed. The stick is configured and UP while doing the following tests. I just ran each prog without creating a profile or trying to connect, to see what each prog displayed on start.
ver 3 to 3.1 -> correctly displayed -> mode managed , encrypt open , but NO channel nber
ver 3.2 -> correctly displayed -> mode managed , encrypt open , but channel (lima 6)
ver 3.3 to 4 -> correctly displayed -> mode managed , channel 6 , encrypt open
# after ver. 4 -> mode , channel , encrypt -> are broken , looks like my doing. Seems like i sent you on the wrong track, after version 4, soooooory 
ver 5 -> displayed hidden essid , no mode , no channel , no encrypt
ver 6 -> displayed hidden essid , no mode , channel auto , no encrypt , ap mac auto
ver 6.1 -> correctly displayed -> IP addr - hidden essid , no mode , channel auto , no encrypt , ap mac auto
Still willing to test if you're interested..
Toutou doesn't hang on boot anymore with the 2 pet's, but still no autoconnect. btw, tried to unistall new network-wizard pet, it broke esmourguit's connection-wizard, so reinstalled it.
# Stopped loosing my hair after using NOP's and sleep's.

Alright, I should be able to work on it tonight if you can either PM me or post your output of "iwlist scanning" & "iwconfig". There must be some other little differences between my output and yours.

0.7 is now up.
maddox, I plugged in your iwlist & iwconfig outputs into my script and I got the correctly desired outputs after some more code modification. Let me know if it works for you.

Hi plinej,
I think it is not useful to store wireless profiles on more than one place in puppy. Traditionally this is /etc/WAG/profiles-config. How about reading and writing to that file with the existing function library at /usr/sbin/wag-profiles.sh ?

note: Pwireless 0.8.2 now uses profile-conf as database. Your old profiles are still there. ~/.config/Pwireless However, if you create a new Profile with Pwireless and the name already exists it will be overwritten.
