Hi

I have successfully setup my wireless connection on my Debian Sarge laptop running 2.6.8.

I just wanted to ask a question to help me understand something.

I installed the drivers for ipw2200 successfully and I get my % wireless connection.

I had trouble configuring the interfaces.

I setup the correct parramaters in the /etc/network/interfaces

The wireless interface is "eth0" when I bring up the interface is sets up eth1?? "ifup eth0" or restart /etc/init.d/networking restart

Now I don't know how it associated eth1 with the wireless interface??

I can ping successfully and load websites in Galeon.

I was woundering if anyone had any ideas how it associated the wireless connection to eth1 and not to eth0?

Thanks

Ben

It might've just assumed. but if you know where to set stuff up, just change it.

That's cool

I just like to know what happened so I understand things better.

I found out what is causing my problem.

It's the actual drivers for the wireless card. ipw2200 drivers

everytime I reboot the computer the card is associated with another interface.

So I have to change my interfaces file.

Now the people who make the driver are aware of the bug they just don't how to fix it.

I just thought I would post what is causing the problem.
