That should be if you start the whole thing with "while [ 1 ] ; do" and end with "done". In addition, it should not take 30 sec between the unload and the following reload. In addition, you have a typo in the load statement.
tks, will make adjustments and try...
I was merely asking "Is it necessary to reboot, or does the unload/load work too?" The reason is that some conditions in the device are not reset with the module unload/reload and require a reboot. I wanted to know which condition applied here.
appears reboot *is* necessary. Wireless connection dropped again while I was away and on return I was unable to restore connection with modprobe -r ath5k ath modprobe ath5k ifup wlan0 system appears connected but cannot ping out and cannot acces the box remotely :^( tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
