What configuration are you using to connect to it? Are there any
clues to the problem in /var/log/syslog around the problem? Basically
unless we see something it isn't going to be possible to help. (And
unfortunately since you are the one seeing the problem it may not be
possible for us to guess correctly at the reason anyway.)
Thanks Bob for your help on this. I'm going to paste your writings into a file called 'wifihints I think.
After a fair bit of mucking about I managed to get some syslog content into a file on my net ready laptop.
Next trick was to boot with and without the usb dongle installed and direct the output of lsmod into 2 different files and diff them to show me the module or modules that I had to restart.
The second boot was without the dongle so when I plugged it in to prepare for another boot the wifi just connected no problem at all.
I take from this that in effect I've really just done a module restart.
Thanks again,
Bob
