Hi,
This may be a silly thing, but in case you haven't checked. When I installed Severn, it found a wireless card, but installed it as just a normal ethernet card (as seen in redhat-config-network). I got it working manually by setting the essid and other settings manually with IWconfig. Later, I found that by completely removing and re-installing the card (as wireless) though redhat-config-network.
I assume if running /etc/init.d/network restart fixes the problem, then the wireless specific options are set up properly and you have a different problem.
I will poke around the network script tonight and see how it sets up things out of curiosity.
thanks, noah silva

My other problem has to do w/ my wireless connection. I have my network configured to access a secure network via a ESSID. However, there is also a neighboring network that isn't restricted that overlaps. When I boot my laptop, it grabs the open network and not the specific network I have it configured for. If I restart the network (/sbin/service network restart), it grabs the correct network. What is it doing differently at boot than when I manually restart the network?
In a perhaps related situation, my wireless connection will randomly disconnect which then forces me to restart it over and over again. Not fun.
