Re: [ts-7000] Re: RTL8187 in Busybox

[Mike Ingle <>]

Normal copying to the busybox is not persistent.  You are really copying to a ramdisk.  Search this group or read your manual if that is the problem.  There is a way to update the image that busy box uses to contain your changes.  Go to /usr/bin.  Are your files there?  If they are and you still get file not found then your path doesn't include /usr/bin.

I still can't get the iwconfig or other wireless tools to work.
I must be doing something wrong or I am going about it the wrong way.

I tried to copy iwconfig, iwevent, iwgetid, iwlist, iwpriv, iwspy to /usr/bin.

I then try to run the command and i get "/bin/sh: iwconfig: not found"
Do i need to somehow need to link this command to busybox in someway?

Are there any other ideas? I would like to get the wireless tools to work within TS-linux (busybox).

Thank you,
Rob
