ipw2200 wireless problem, minor but annoying
Hello, I have a small but annoying problem regarding my wireless connection. When SuSE 10 boots up, the wireless card doesn't connect to my network. It is configured through YaST to connect automatically at boot. Logging in as root and executing "rcnetwork restart" does the trick every time. Any guesses as to the initial hiccup? Thanks in advance, Michael Sacco

I had this problem and it was making sure smpppd was turned off during the boot process. So ... chkconfig smpppd off rcsmpppd stop LDB

Thanks LDB. I gave that a shot. Unfortunately that didn't seem to hit the spot. smpppd now reports status of unused on boot, but the wireless NIC still hadn't connected.

Can I assume you rebooted after you invoked chkconfig to let the firmware load from a fresh reboot? Sometimes the firmware gets funny with the IP2200 implementation. LDB

I have found that YaST can mess up the wireless setup in SUSE 10.0. I have mine set to hotplug, but it doesn't come up when I press the "wireless" button. And restarting networking doesn't work, I have to do "ifup wlan0" Hans
