This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

After finally getting my NETGEAR MA101 router to work perfectly it burned out and now I have a Siemens Gigaset USB 11. Using the same configuration as with the MA101 I now have to unplug the device and then plug it in again in order to get it to work... it must be a configuration thing, but I haven't been able come up with anything useful. Any ideas??? I'm running SUSE9.0 with a 2.4.21 kernel.
Just after startup, when I do a IWCONFIG I get:
lo no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.

NOTE THE eth0
After I unplug the Gigaset USB 11 and then plug it in again, the IWCONFIG shows:
lo no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
