How do I use the OpenDNS servers for wireless networks in Aptosid? All the methods I've found are either specific to other distros, specific to eth0 or they just don't work with Aptosid or wpa_gui.

None of this helped? aptosid.com/… What specifically are you having trouble with? – Mat Nov 22 '11 at 19:04
@Mat I think the problem is I want to make opendns the default for wireless networks(i changed the question so it's more specific) – RunningDroid Nov 22 '11 at 20:52
That link I posted includes configuration for wlan0. – Mat Nov 22 '11 at 20:53
@Mat I tried configuring it that way but the nameservers reset when I restarted the networking – RunningDroid Nov 22 '11 at 21:00

Having no idea, I googled up the Aptosid manual which looks helpful - it refers to some text UI for network device configuration called ceni:

Network settings in ceni

Have you tried this, i.e., the OpenDNS IPs in "DNS Nameservers"?

I probably should have been more specific, I want to set the opendns servers as default for wlan0 (there is no eth0) and I'm using wpa_gui to connect to networks(I'll added that to the question) – RunningDroid Nov 22 '11 at 20:47
Not sure how using wpa_gui plays in, but the ceni tool allows editing network settings for wlan0, too, as can be recognized from the link. – sr_ Nov 23 '11 at 11:57
if I use ceni to set the dns then I can't use wpa_gui to change networks(which I'm hoping to avoid because wpa_gui is easier to use) – RunningDroid Nov 23 '11 at 18:58
