first, a success story: I installed FC3 on a new Asus 68Ne and then got the latest ipw2200 (v 0.19) from ipw2200.sourceforge.net. Setting it up was as easy is "make install". After updating my system to kernel 2.6.9-1.724_FC3 it stopped working. I found out that the new kernel already contains the ipw2200 driver, but an older version 0.13 that needed a different firmware, which was not included. In one network profile I defined (the info in http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-network-profiles.html is very useful and profiles "just work") I set the eth1 wireless interface to not be configured at boot time, but it nevertheless tried to set it up. I seems I also need HOTPLUG=no in ifcfg-eth1. Now it is left alone when I power up the machine. Now my questions: to make use of the wifi button and LED of the Asus, what are the best ways to - add my own stuff to be run at ifup/ifdown? ifup calls ifup-post, which looks for /sbin/ifup-local, which does not exist. Is this the place for my hacks? - find out whether in iterface is up or down (to implement a toggle), and how do I check in a script whether it has associated itself to an access point?
