I am using Fedora 8 x86_64 (kernel 2.6.23.14-107) on my Dell Vostro laptop which has a Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wireless mini PCI lan device which has been automatically detected and uses the b43 wireless driver. I have configured the wireless device wlan0 using a static IP address and have provided the ESSID, CHANNEL, MODE, RATE settings. The wireless device comes up and gets associated with the Access Point / Wireless Router when the system is started. However if the wireless router is restarted the wireless device on the laptop fails to associate with it again and I have to restart the network service in order to connect to it. If I remember correctly, the Intel Centrino ipw2200 device on my older laptop never had this problem and nor does a PCI wireless card (Realtek 8180) which I have configured using ndiswrapper. What could be the reason for this problem ? Any tips or suggestions ?
