I found a mechanism for patching the ifup scripts that makes s-c-n
work in my environment with a mac80211-based device. I'm attaching a
file called "network-functions.patch" to this email. It is generated
against the network-functions file in initscripts-8.60.1 in Fedora 8.
In case you need a tutorial on how to apply it:
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
patch < network-functions.patch
I would recommend a reboot after applying the patch. Does this help
you to use s-c-n?
Good luck!
John
