Sorry I dropped off the thread, but Time Warner lost my Internet
connection for the better part of the week. I appreciate everyone's eyes
and help so far.
To summarize, I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.22.2-42.fc6 and then had to
upgrade to bcm43xx-80211 and version 4 of the drivers for my wireless.
Now after booting up, the radio is configured (iwconfig) and the adapter
is configured (ifconfig), but I cannot connect to the Internet. If I run
'ifup eth1', my network then works. It is as if 'ifconfig' was run
before 'iwconfig' during the bootup process.
While my Internet connection was out, I created a work-around. I created
an init.d script that runs 'ifup' and set it to run just before the
netfs script. I added 'ifconfig', 'iwconfig', 'iwlist' and 'ping'
commands before and after the 'ifup' to try to capture the state of the
interface before and after the 'ifup'. The results are listed below. I
don't see anything in there to indicate the problem. If any of you guys
do, please let me know.
Thanks!
