| + | So I write down the two file locations: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Move The Config File ==== | ||
| + | You should have a file named **wpa_configure.conf**. | ||
| + | If you do not have a **wpa_configure.conf** file, please read these instructions: | ||
| + | This file needs to be persistent between reboots. | ||
| + | I chose to keep my **wpa_configure.conf** file in the **/opt** directory, but you can save it anywhere as long as that location persists between reboots. | ||
| + | ==== Editing bootlocal.sh ==== | ||
| + | Finally we need to tell Tiny Core that we want to run these specific commands at boot.\\ | ||
| + | Thus we will need to append to our **bootlocal.sh** file which can be found in the **/opt** directory. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Lets open up a text editor and add these 3 lines: | ||
| + | < | ||
| + | # Setup Wireless | ||
| + | / | ||
| + | / | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | * The first line is just an optional comment to remind us what these 2 lines do. | ||
| + | * My [wireless adapter] = **wlan0** | ||
| + | * My / | ||
| + | * My / | ||
| + | * My / | ||
| + | * The " &" tells the command to run in the background which is what we want. | ||
| + | So my **bootlocal.sh** file additions look like: | ||
| + | < | ||
| + | # Setup Wireless | ||
| + | / | ||
| + | / | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Save Your Changes ==== | ||
| + | Finally, we must save all of our changes.\\ This will save changes to our **bootlocal.sh** file and also allow us to save our **wpa_configure.conf** file. | ||
| + | |||
| + | To save your changes run: | ||
| + | < | ||
| + | sudo filetool.sh -b | ||
