   Hi all ... I have two identical Acer 7520 Laptops

   I use a custom live Slitaz 4.0 disc made on one of them with the Wifi configured as wlan0 ... when I put that disc in the other one it changes the default interface to wlan2 (this works ok) but the network status monitor has to be changed manually to wlan2 to show connection status ... :(

   Can I use a single custom live disc for both machines without having to manually change the network status monitor setting.

   I'm guessing this is happening because the mac address for the integrated wifi adapters are different in both machines ... is there a way to over come this or do I have to make a different disc for each machine even though they are identical ?

   Hi

   Append your /etc/init.d/local.sh with :
   rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

   Hi Bellard ... I have just tried that and it didn't work ... network status monitor is still showing the adapter wlan0 from machine one on machine two after booting.

   e.g.

   Custom live cd was made on machine one with wifi being wlan0

   When I put this cd into machine two everything works and wifi changes to wlan2 (I think because of the different mac address of the adapter) .... but the network status monitor on lxpanel is still wlan0 ... so shows disconnected.

   In the 70-persistent-net.rules it has both wlan0 and wlan2 listed with their different mac addresses

   It's just a formality but it gets annoying having to change the monitor to wlan2 on machine two manually. I'm just trying to get the network monitor to show the current adapter in use and so I can swap the custom live cd between both identical machines without issue ...

   Extract the iso:
   tazlito extract-distro <path.to.custom.iso>
   Modify the root filesystem in /home/slitaz/cooking/distro/rootfs
   rm /home/slitaz/cooking/distro/rootfs/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
   Rebuild modified iso:
   tazlito gen-initiso
   Rebuilt iso:
   /home/slitaz/cooking/distro/slitaz-cooking.iso
   Burn to cdrw to test.

   Ok, that's something I've not done before ... I'll try that as soon as I get some time and let you know how it goes ... :)

   Ok finally got around to trying that .... it seems that here the "cooking" directory is called "4.0" after using tazlito extract-distro which worked fine .... I did the modification .... but then
   tazlito gen-initiso only produced an iso file 5mb in size .... any idea what I did wrong ?
