Hi, people I have a centrino notebook with intel ipw2200 wireless card. Almost every time I cold-boot this computer, the card is shown as __tmp1804289383 or something like that instead of eth1. It is not in an usable state when this happens. If I just reboot, the card is then correctly shown as eth1 and works ok. Restarting the network and/or NetworkManager services do not correct the problem. So, I always have to boot and then reboot to get the wirless card working. This did not happen in FC5. These lines appear in dmesg (I can post the complete file if requested): ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.1.2kmprq ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection ipw2200: Detected geography ZZM (11 802.11bg channels, 0 802.11a channels) eth1: Identified chip type is 'RTL8169s/8110s'. eth1: RTL8169 at 0xf8b28c00, 00:03:0d:3a:f0:5b, IRQ 185 ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): __tmp1804289383: link is not ready r8169: eth0: link down ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): __tmp1804289383: link becomes ready ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'CCMP' ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'TKIP' ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): __tmp1804289383: link is not ready ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): __tmp1804289383: link becomes ready __tmp1804289383: no IPv6 routers present ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): __tmp1804289383: link is not ready Sometimes I also get: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): __tmp1804289383: link is not ready ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): __tmp1804289383: link becomes ready __tmp1804289383: no IPv6 routers present ipw2200: Failed to send RSN_CAPABILITIES: Command timed out. ipw2200: Failed to send SSID: Command timed out. When the card is shown as __tmp1804289383 and I command ifup eth1, I get: ipw2200 device eth1 seems not to be present; delaying initialization Why is this happening? How can I get wireless working after the first boot? Thanks, Marcelo
