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.
[...]
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?
Try this (from http://www.ces.clemson.edu/linux/fc6_setup.shtml#net):
make sure the network service is on (on by default)
create the file /etc/iftab containing
eth0 mac XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
eth1 mac YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY
where X's and Y's are the MAC addresses of your wired and wireless cards,
resp.
Let us know if it works for you.
Thanks,
Marcelo
