Hi,
I have a laptop with ethernet and wifi. The ethernet goes active on cable connection (traditional ifup network setup). I would like the wifi button to activate its network setup automatically, same as it happens with the eth cable connection. It works when going off, but not on. Currently I have to issue "rcnetwork restart" when the state changes.
What "STARTMODE=???" should I use? Currently I have "hotplug".

Hi Carlos; The "wifi button" seems to be somwwhat hardware dependent. On my Dell Studio 1745 laptop, which has Intel 'PRO/Wireless 5100AGN Network Connection' card, the turn-off apparently toggles the hardware itself. Once off it stays off until I reboot into windows and reset it. I've tried startuo mode in hotplug, auto, manual, and off but none of them will turn the wifi back on. Also, running rcnetwork restart goes through the motions but doesn't turn it back on. On my daughters Toshiba laptop (older, no special function buttons), the rcnetwork routine does turn the wifi on. Wierd behavior.
