[Bucky Ball]

Let us know what you are doing and we might be able to figure how to make it permanent. Link to the site you're using and the code you're using to get wireless up, please.

i tried the code they said to do to make it permanent but maybe im doing it wrong?

[Bucky Ball]

That's a typo. Instead of gsku, you should use gksu, so:

gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/iwl.conf

From post #8 on that thread.

[bjballar41]

after i put that one in it pops up with a new box and im not sure what to do after that

[Bucky Ball]

Well, did you follow the full fix from that thread and put that instruction in to replace the wrong one at the appropriate point? Or did you just run that command by itself?

The new box is Gedit, a text editor. You need to follow the fix to know what to do next. You are about to edit the file iwl.conf ...
