instead of restarting wlan0, try using pause instead. Its in TFM here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=4 "If you want to stop a service, but not the services that depend on it, you can use the pause argument:" like /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 pause start (I think you can give two commands on one line, if it doesn't work like that use: /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 pause /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start ) > > thanks for the info. > > Thanks, > Mark > -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
