Hi,

I installed  a netgear 802.11g card on my laptop for wireless access. 
With latest vanilla-source (~x86) everything was working fine.
Then, I changed the kernel to latest gentoo-sources (~x86). Now the 
wireless connection doesn't connect automatically after boot. I have 
added it to the default runlevel.

Now everytime, I have to start it explcitly by:

/etc/init.d/net.eth1 stop
/etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
I have to stop first, cause it say it is already started. What could 
be the problem. I will appreciate any help.

Thanks
Prabhat

Prabhat,

I have faced the same problem and here's what I had to do:

1)  rc-update del wlan default
2)  rc-update add wlan boot
On my system the net.wlan0 script was running before wlan was loaded.  
Removing wlan from the default runlevel and adding it to boot ensured 
that wlan was started first.

Let me know if it works,

Regards,
Brian
Prabhat,

Disregard my suggestion.  Sorry.  I didn't realize that you aren't using 
linux-wlan-ng.
