Hi All After being happy for almost a year now using a wireless connection to my ISP, this morning I can't connect. AFAIK I haven't changed anything, but when i run from the CLI I get the following message linux:/home/billy # rcnetwork restart Shutting down network interfaces: ppp0 done ppp1 done wlan0 done Setting up network interfaces: lo done wlan0 warning: using NO encryption ERROR: command 'iwconfig wlan0 nick linux' returned Error for wireless request "Set Nickname" (8B1C) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. ERROR: command 'iwconfig wlan0 essid hut' returned Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. I'm using SUSE 9.0 with a netgear card and as I said It worked perfect until now. I contacted a friend who is on the same node as me and everything there is working fI tried to use the static options but then i get the message that the wLan0 is not up. Any body an idea how to fix this? Thanks -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. My Windows is so fast, before yours can boot up, mine has already crashed three times.
