Networking - Noob needs help with small wifi issue Zzapped - 15.10.2006, 03:23 Uhr Titel: Noob needs help with small wifi issue
Hi all.
Im a noob to this so please be gentle, I have installed the latest Kanotix distro on my HP DV 5230TX laptop and am having a bit of a problem with the WiFi setup.
It took a bit of fiddling and reading to get the wifi to work but the problem is that whenever I start up or restart the laptop, the wifi will not start up automatically.
Once I have logged on to the laptop , I have to open a terminal and type in "ifup eth2 up" and it will then initialise the wifi card, get a dhcp address and all is well.
How can I make the system automatically initialise the card on startup so I dont have to do this ?
Cheers

What is the content of the /etc/network/interfaces file on your system?

Contents as follows
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(, ifdown(
# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo eth2
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth2 inet dhcp
wireless-mode auto

pre-up wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ieth2 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
