Re: Wireless on boot up?



Hi!

Try using wpa_supplicant with -Dwext (and of course a correct
wpa_supplicant.conf). If that works, you can add the following lines to
your /etc/network/interfaces (exchange ath0 with your wireless
interface):

---%<----------------------------------
# The primary network interface
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
wpa-driver wext
---%<----------------------------------

Does anyone have any recommendations as to what I should do to get the wireless link up and running on boot up so I don't have to log in to GNOME? I'm looking at wifi-radar, if I recall correctly it has startup scripts so it'll bring the wireless up automatically is this right.  Also I had no luck with Google trying to find out which driver to use with wpa_supplicant and ipw3945.  I also had a look in the system logs but I don't know if I'm looking in the right place.  Any help would be appreciated.
