General Discussion / Manual configuration - how do you guys do it?

If you can't copy file back even as root then it's probably related to what you are trying to overwrite.The problem was that I wasn't able to login as root in the first place. I would use 'su', and it would change my bash prompt to just the # sign (usually means you're root), but echo $USER showed that I was still logged in as "zaurus". I have since discovered sulogin, and now echo $USER shows "root".
I think at this point I've decided that it would be alot easier to telnet/ssh into my Zaurus from my laptop, where I'd have a much bigger screen and a real keyboard, to do my .conf file editing. Now I just need to figure out how to allow a remote session, and maybe put something a little more friendly than vi on my Zaurus.
To answer what I think was your question, I'm trying to edit wlan-ng.conf. The reading I've done suggests that I need to add to this for my Hawking H-CF30W wireless card to work properly. I'd rather make this one work instead of exchanging it, as it was $35 cheaper than everything else at the store (I didn't want to mail order it) and the antenna has a very slim, unobtrusive profile.
