Hi all

I have Suse 10.0 dual booting nicely on my laptop and it all works really well (other than a booting problem discussed on another thread).

I configured ndiswrapper to drive my wireless card and when I boot my laptop it starts up the card and connects to my home wireless network, so no problem, BUT....

... if I don't have my wireless network turned on when I boot up the laptop, it obviously can't connect. So, I turn on the network, but then what do I do with my laptop? It doesn't connect automatically, so I obviously have to use the console to start things up. Being a relative newbie (I'm getting much better though!) I don't know what command I need to use.

Could someone please enlighten me.

Thanks

/sbin/ifup [devicename], and to bring it down, /sbin/ifdown [devicename]. Otherwise you should find some utils in you system menus in gnome or kde. Those commands need to be run as root.

I'll give that a try - thanks.

What Utils am I looking for? I use KDE

wow - that was easy. I just turned my connection on and off again.

Thank you so much. :-)
