The nearest thing I've got to /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0 seems to be
ifcfg-wlan-id-00:12:f0:73:7d:a7
I'd like to see what (if anything) is different when the interface is up and when its not.
The ifcfg file doesn't change at all. The system 'thinks' the interface is up - that's what it tells me if I try 'ifup eth1'. Instead if I say 'ifdown eth1' first, followed by 'ifup eth1' everything comes up fine. So the question is - what's not happening at boot time? I noticed that the 'ifup' puts the dhcp request in the background. Would this happen at boot time? Could this cause a problem if the dhcp request didn't complete? Do other people see the same results if they try ifup, then ifdown, then ifup again?
