Hi Guys, I have tried enough but feel helpless. You guys have to help me. I use Fedora Linux and a Xircom Wireless Card. When the machine starts I get a message the device "Xircom Aironet Does not seem to be present delaying initialization" [FAILED] however "Starting wifi0 " [OK] AT HOME WHERE I HAVE A D LINK ROUTER AND AN ACCESS POINT WHERE MY WIRELESS CONNECTION DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY AUTHENTICATION When I am at my home, I can easily access the wireless connection. In Linux I dont even have to change the SSID it does that automatically when the machine restarts. DOUBT 1: ----------------- When I try to do some changes with ifconfig eth0 a.b.c.d and try to assign some other ip (and by checking and making sure that I am not having conflict with any other machine), the wirless internet stops working and even if I do "service network restart" nothing helps and I have to restart machine to make it connect to interenet via wireless automatically. How can I manage this without rebooting? what command lines with options? DOUBT2: I seriously need help on this: When I go to University where I have to authenticate for using the wireless connection I have tried everything with going to network device control and making new wireless connection and placing the correct "ssid" I even tried to do this iwconfig eth0 essid "mobilenet" which is the ssid of my university campus. But nothing works. I know its not a problem of my wireless card since the same card works in linux at home (as I mentioned above). When I log on to windows I change the ssid -- internet works fine. My problem is that I always program in Linux and I hate to do programming in Windows but in the University I am not able to connect to internet via wireless in Linux and there is no way I can hook an ethernet cable. Also the system administrators are of not much help. Can someone help me please. Thanks, Regards, Dont __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo!
