That's not what the problem is. rc.local is in /etc/rc.d, not /etc.

Well, I think he meant /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf.

@Nylex, thanks for pointing that out, I did not see the mistake.

It is now working - thank you for your help.

Now I need to learn to set the network up - will check documentation first.

Sorry for the confusing parts; I made a typo indeed; it should've been /etc/rc.d/rc.local of course.

Secondly, you may have had to edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 to uncomment the *[4] (wlan0) entries. iirc those were commented by default.

Great you have it working w/o my further help ;-)
