by system-control-network, I assume that you should be able to prevent eth0 to come up at boottime.On Thu, Feb 03, 2005 at 04:53:18PM -0800, Richard S. Crawford wrote:
Once my computer is booted up, I can execute the following series of commands (as root):If you have your card properly configured as wlan0 through the

in order to get up and running with my wireless card. I'm using a Linksys WPC-11b ver. 3 wireless card with ndiswrapper, and my laptop is running FC3 kernel 2.6.10-1.741_FC3.
No matter what I do, though, I can't seem to get this working on boot. I've tried creating the new wireless device in the network configuration tool, entering all of the proper settings in the "Wireless" tab. The computer seems to recognize the wireless card and reports a strong signal, but I can't see the SSID for my WAP and I certainly can't get an IP address from the DHCP server.
What am I missing?
system-config-network gui then ifup wlan0 should bring it up and
ifdown wlan0 bring it down. Do you have a eth0 interface on you machine. We have found that even
if the machine is not connected with a wire the eth0 interface will be
brought up and prevent the wlan0 interface from coming up.
Now if anyone out there knows how to keep the eth0 interface from coming up on boot even when there is no line plugged into it I would like to hear about it.
let me know...
my wireless card on my laptop is eth1. I dont know what the difference is between that and wlan0, but mine works fine. I can ifup eth1 ifdown eth1 or whatever. This may be a little off topic but I have my eth cards set to not start at boot. It boots faster when not connected to anything. then just open a terminal and ifup ethX
