Hi all,

I've got a Dell Inspiron 1501 with a Broadcom 1390 Wlan mini card
(integrated) wireless lan chipset. I've got an init script setup to
activate the wireless connection at boot time, however when the system
boots the adapter doesn't connect. I'm not able to get a connection
until after the desktop is done loading and I run the script from the
command line.

what about running your script from the
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.
Start it at the end of it, but be careful if your scrip block the boot
process, your systm will block! Be sure to have a rescue CD ready.

Regards


well... I've got it starting as a service, however it doesn't make the connection. when the system starts to run the script the script runs fine but the wireless doesn't make the connection. "Network is down" is reported to the console as the system is booting.

Once the desktop loads and I'm logged in, if I issue "service wireless restart" (I've got it setup as a sysV init script) the wireless connects perfectly every time.
