Ok, I can confirm when I boot up and things are working, ifdown eth1 shuts wireless, ifup1 starts up, and the /etc/init.d/networking restart does restart Ok, more clues. I say that it "restarts" because the "network monitor" popup shows and does the "ding" thing. But I _think_ in fact, the network was killed by trying to restart. I saved the terminal output and rebooted. Here's what it said: Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20) : SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument. * Starting portmap daemon... * Already running. ...done. * Starting NFS common utilities ...done. r...@thinkpad:/home/john# /etc/init.d/networking restart * Reconfiguring network interfaces... Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20) : SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument. * Starting portmap daemon... * Already running. ...done. * Starting NFS common utilities ...done. THEREFORE, one might guess, during reboot it does NOT try to set bit rate with the bad argument, but on a CL restart, it does try to set bit rate and that's what makes it fail. If so, which startup file needs the surgery? Or am I totally on the wrong track? John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
