Hi Jim, Thanks for following up on this. > Can you now get connected? No. After the failure to load the firmware, the eth1 interface is not installed or is removed.

As you can see, no eth1. If I boot with the wireless switch off, also the following line is printed: eth1 No scan results > iwconfig eth1 essid <networkname> key <wep key if in use, if no key > used dont use this part> > ifup eth1 > iwconfig > ---> Are you no associated? > > ping -c4 www.google.com > --->do you get a reply? > > Also, if your using gnome see > http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/NetworkManager/index.html to start NM > type > service networkmanager start > then as your user account > NetworkManagerInfo [root@antoy ~]# service networkmanager start networkmanager: unrecognized service [root@antoy ~]# > Not sure if NM works in kde > But if you can usse NM there is no need to start devices, stop devices etc... > > As for the log mine will sometimes do the same.

Since I was able to load it in the past, it is either the new kernel or a new version of the firmware. If I could load the firmware, I could try the other things you suggest. Thanks again, Sergio
