I remember having to manually start my WG511 on every boot prior to installing FC2. I also vaguely remember ifup causing problems at some point with the FC2 test releases. In any case, my WG511 starts perfectly every time with the released FC2 with no additional tweaking that I can recall. The script/steps I used before FC2 stabilized were: boot to runlevel 1 modprobe yenta_socket #modprobe ds #not needed as of 2.6.2-1.96 sleep 2 #use appropriate wireless network name below iwconfig eth0 essid NETGEAR sleep 2 #ifup eth0 resets essid, use ifconfig ... up instead ifconfig eth0 up sleep 2 dhclient eth0 switch to runlevel 3/5 How this helps, Kevin Freeman
