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.
