I've got the following in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local: (Puppy 4.21)
(I've got the appropriate nic modules loading at boot)

Hi chaps,

Exactly the same issue for me. No reply!

In fact the wizzard perform well, but it doesn't save the config. What happened?

Regards.

You'd be much better off posting in a new thread.

Hi,

Well this post is referenced in google (that's how I am here), so somebody having the same issue would land here directly isn't it?

A new post would not be refferenced imediatly and I think the solution would have to be newly posted again and again (I am pretty sure that's what happened anyway ... unfortunately the reference in google is just a question with no answer). In fact that the whole problematic behind posting new every time ... That does a bad interaction with google referencing (And google is far better than the search feature of the forum even if it's pretty good. In addition google is even recommended on top of the search feature ...).

In fact I meet a lot of issues, with puppy even if it remains appealing. For me that's quite natural since both windows and unbuntu comes with their numerous issues, but most of the post dealing with my issues are empty answer, while I know this is something that have been dealt.

So the real solution would be that an experimented chaps post the link of the best solution, if any ! I am a Puppy linux newbie (I don't like this non respectuous pejorative "Newbie" but anyway) so I am suggesting the following:

I would try the following tonight:

And keep this referenced post up do tade if it works.

Hi chaps,

What is suggested in the link that I posted previously is ok. It works for puppy528. Please find here a quick resume:
Open a terminal then go to
/etc/rc.d
and create a file (ex type geany wifi.sc&) with the following contains:

iwconfig eth1 key 000000
rm -f /var/lib/dhcpcd/*.info
rm -f /var/run/*.pid
dhcpcd -t 30 -h puppyc -d eth1

of course eth1 and 0000000 should be adapted to your environment.

then save and close the file and type in the terminal
chmod 755 wifi.sc

(normaly this file should run your wifi config ok, you could give try by typing the comand: /etc/rc.d/wifi.sc )

then open the file rc.network and go down to the end before the word "exit" then type:
#Johnny Omara FEB 2012
echo "Get an access to internet">/dev/console

/etc/rc.d/wifi.sc

And then it should work perfectly.

Form my own perspective I think erasing the whole rc.network and puting there the manual config would be an optimisation. Maybe not...

Regards,
