My wlan device is a USB dongle, a Fujitsu-Siemens E5400. It has behaved
reasonably well under OS 10.2 and OS 10.3 but not under 11.0RC1.
This dongle is not state of the art but its advantage is that I can
control propagation through the thick brick walls in my house by sliding
the thing over the lamp above the desktop.
In WXP, 10.2 and 10.3 my desktop is assigned ip 192.168.2.2 from a wlan
Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router.
In 11.0RC1 I can ping my router, but I cannnot get onto the internet. We
see that a secondary
ip assigned, a new HOSTNAME and ifdown/ifup no longer works.
1. Why a new hostname and a new ipaddress ?
2. How do I make the DNS servers 213.163.128.185, 213.142.0.242 the
preferred ones ?
From my shell as root::
