I suspect that the hidden SSID is the problematic element, but I haven't tested it, and probably won't now that it's working. I was vaguely aware that "# Maintained by user" will allow me to create a fixed config file that pCP won't later modify, but thanks for pointing it out, as it made me

Do you really need them in the initrd? Why not just put them in an extension. But to answer your question, the initrd is a gzipped cpio archive. Create you directory structure in a temp directory. i.e. /tmp/myinitrd/lib/modules/. Then change to /tmp/myinitrd Code:
