I cant really answer the question, but if it seems impossable to
_keep_ the settings then i would suggest entering a a line into
/etc/rc.d/rc.local to reset the parms, or make a seperate file which
hold the parms and execute that file from rc.local as follows.
if [ -f /rtc/rc.d/rc.Hparms ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.Hparms
fi
You could make the file rc.Hparms executable with chmod a+x and use
-x instead of -f in rc.local, then if toy find a way of keeping the
parms after a reboot, just make rc.Hparms unexecutable with chmod a-x.
