You can also check the kernel logs for any indication of if there is a carrier loss for any preiod of time (reassociation, etc.) Load the module
w/ debug set to 0x43fff:
% . load debug=0x43fff
and then see the kernel log when you experience your problem (dmesg | less) [/quote]
I configured the wireless card to have a static IP and now I do not loose the network connectivity anymore. I therefore seems that it is the DHCP client. I am running SuSE 9.3 and cannot find a /etc/dhcpcd.conf or a /etc/init.d/dhcpcd. How do I configure the DHCP client to not bring the interface up and down?

How do I configure the DHCP client to not bring the interface up and down?

If the interface is configured with a static IP in YaST, then the dhcp client won't start or /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-* can be manually changed from BOOTPROTO='dhcp' to ... BOOTPROTO='static' Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

I have reconfigured the interface to use DHCP. Now I want to configure the DHCP client not to bring the interface up and down. How do I do this? I have added DHCLIENT_ADDITIONAL_OPTIONS="-o" to the wireless interface ifcfg but with this entry I do not get any IP address. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

You could try altering /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/dhcpcd-hook as that is where it does ifup and ifdown. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

If you are intending to have different setups depending on where you are located, the Profile Manager in YaST --> System will allow you to do that, so when you boot up, you can select the appropriate profile.
