litlle problem

Post by duardito » 2007/04/19 20:50:46

hi, I have my intel pro3945 wireless running without problems after to have added ipw3945 modules, but my litlle problem is when I restart my pc my wireless doesn't work, first I have to disconnect wireless and then activate it again.

my wireleress card is recognised during boot, here in first image you can see how my network is recognised and detected but I can't connect.

in second image after deactivate and activate again I can connect to internet.

Try editing the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg- file for the wireless interface and the IP address of the wireless router and maybe set the ONBOOT line;

GATEWAY=
ONBOOT=yes

Try once more and empty the HWADDR line: HWADDR=

And you may want to disable kudzu at boot: chkconfig --levels 345 kudzu off

Maybe, but first what did you install for your ipw3945 device??? Is this wireless device maybe USB??

Maybe you want review this thread in this CentOS Networking Support forum: Intel PRO/WiFi ipw3945abg installation

OK, as a suggestion try editing the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file and stop and restart the device, for example;

[code]
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

/sbin/ifdown eth1 > /dev/null 2>&1
/sbin/ifup eth1 > /dev/null 2>&1

touch /var/lock/subsys/local
[/code]

This is a tiny bit 'down and dirty' to automatically do at boot time what you are currently doing manually to restart the device.
This does not solve the issue but is a possible workaround.
