ajkessel LQ Newbie Registered: May 2004 Posts: 2 Rep:	Mandrake 10.0 Community Not Properly Setting Wireless Settings on Boot-up I recently installed Mandrake 10.0 Community on a laptop and upgraded to the latest packages. The WiFi network card is properly recognized and comes up properly on boot-up, but the wireless settings are not set. In particular, essid needs to be "any" and not "Tsunami" (the default). If I bring the card down and up (with ifdown/ifup), the settings are then correct. But they are never correct on boot-up. ifcfg-eth1 looks like it has the right setting in it--I configured the card through the graphical interface. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas what might be causing it? Is this a Mandrake bug? I'm pretty sure it is configured properly, since bringing the card down and up does configure it with the proper settings.
