Hello,

I have an IBM ThinkPad T-30 with a Linksys wireless card which receives its signal from a Linksys wireless router. It is working fine but what I would like to know is this: How can I get the card to automatically get an IP address upon bootup. I am using Fedora Core 6 and wpa_supplicant for WPA2 encryption. What file has to be edited in order to make this happen? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

system-config-network apparently still doesn't support WPA. Your best first bet is to use NetworkManager. To try it,

	# /sbin/service network stop
	# /sbin/service NetworkManager start

You should then see the nm-applet icon in your task bar (at least in GNOME--in KDE you may have to start the applet yourself). Left-click to select a network and fill in the keys at the prompt.

If it works,

	# /sbin/chkconfig network off
	# /sbin/chkconfig NetworkManager on

to start NM at boot.

NM connects you on login, not at boot (yet). I don't know how to manually configure connect on boot to WPA.
