Intel pro-wireless wlan not starting automatically
Hi everyone
I'm using sidux nyx and have posted on the forum there but haven't had
much response so i'm wondering if someone here might be able to help.
I configured my wlan card this evening. Although, it needs to be
activated manually each time i start up
the machine.
I'm using a Dell xps 1330 laptop with an intel pro-wireless networkcard.
output from lspci:
Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network
Connection (rev 02)
I configured it using 'ceni' and followed the instructions from the sidux
manual.
I read the same problem in an earlier thread, using the same network card
as me. The solution there seemed to be editing /etc/network/interfaces. I
think i have the correct entries in the file and i'm now stuck. Heres the
contents of /etc/network/interfaces:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid **********
wireless-key ***********
Also, not sure if it's useful, but i did 'dmesg | grep wlan' which shows:
~$ dmesg | grep wlan
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
When i was using OpenSUSE, my wireless connection was configured
using eth1, not wlan0 and the wifi light would come on. Should i try
configuring eth1 rather than wlan0 and if so would you be able to explain
how to do that.
I'd be really grateful for some advice.
Jamie
