If that happened to me I would first look in /etc/modprobe.conf to see if wlan0 is mentioned, then in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and delete the line if mentioned there. Then I'd delete /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 - well, actually I always save back versions of ifcfg-<if>. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
