I made the changes I thought necessary from ifcfg-eth0 to make it somewhat more fit for the eth1 interface, but then forgot to include the suggested addition. Making adjustments now. I left in the HWADDR= line since I knew the address to plug in. But to no avail. After adjusting, then rebooting, it comes back up and promptly has 12 of the Failed error messages within the first 3 minutes. Perhaps I should remove the HWADDR after all?I believe the HWADDR line should cause no problem whether absent or present (and correct).
Knoppix currently has uptime 11:40 with 0 ipw errors. Tho I do find it a bit odd that in nearly 12 hours, there have only been 6 RX packets and 3 TX packets with 394448 RX bytes and 5883 TX bytes. Oops, scratch that, now only 0 RX packets with 1 TX packets (while bytes RX and TX are unchanged).
Apparently, there are ipw2200 problems that are not being reported under dmesg in Knoppix.
Well, now Knoppix has an uptime of , 12 occurrences of "ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting." and has since at least as far back as about 45 minutes ago (where scrolling hits its limit). It still has 0 occurrences of "ipw2200: Failed to send ..." Maybe the "Firmware error occurred when I grabbed a web page. Momentarily, eth1 has an ESSID:off/any, so it may be that the signal is currently too weak (or off, which is a subset of too weak).
