P2 Forgets Settings on Reboot

#1 Post by edoc »

Just noticed that P2 is not saving some settings on my son's desktop.

P2 is the only distro on a freshly wiped HDD.

I loaded GRUB in MBR.

On reboot it forgets the previously loaded nic driver.

What could be causing this, please?

Thanks! doc

Did he use the Ethernet/network wizard to load and save the driver?

Did he use the Ethernet/network wizard to configure the network and did he save the parameters for next boot?

Yes.

That is what is so puzzling.
