There has been this problem with my wireless connectivity that is
getting on my nerves. Every time I reboot I have to go through a series
of procedures just to get my wireless card to connect to my wireless
router. Unfortunately, I have never been able to pin down what exact
procedure I need to follow. But here are a few things I can say for sure.
At boot up there is 0 connectivity with my wireless router. However,
eth1 (the wireless card) is active (enabled). I have to manually issue
the command:
iwconfig eth1 key restricted **************
And then I seem to have connectivity to the router. I judge that I have
connectivity by the fact that the network icon turns from 1 red diamond
to several blue ones. However, I never get an ip address from the
router. Then I just go through a series of ifconfigs and ifups and
ifdowns, etc., sometimes even /etc/init.d/network restart before finally
I get an ip address. Kind of a hassle. How can I make this more automatic?
Here is my interfaces file:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
name Wireless LAN card
wireless-essid CCCP
wireless-key *************************
