Hi. Thanks for your reply.
Well I'm not a Linux expert but I always used the "set" command to see the state of various variables.
May be I'm wrong as "man set " gives no answer.
Anyway it always worked for me.
Except with this distribution .
As for the wlan interface my message was just a confirmation to kaytros 's one.
I use Ethernet and the only use I have of WIFI is as an access point but I didn't try it yet with that distribution.
