Howdie, fellow Debianites!I'm running Lenny with Gnome on two boxes, both connected wirelessly via network-manager to my home router. Problem: about once to thrice a day, one or both of the boxes randomly disconnect (they are using the proprietary Broadcom wl.ko and ndiswrapper, respectively) and I can't seem to make them reconnect. The nm-applet doesn't show the available networks anymore. Which are the services I should restart to make networking restart from scratch? What I've tried so far and *doesn't work*:-- running /etc/init.d/networking restart -- running /etc/init.d/networking-dispatcher restart-- killing the Gnome nm-applet and starting another instance thereof from a Gnome-Terminal -- running all of the above in every picturesque combination I could think of-- running ifup, ifdown -- logging out and logging in again-- turning wireless off and on with the hardware button on the box which has one-- all to no avail -- rebooting - oddly enough, this helps. After a reboot, network-manager reconnects flawlessly, and everything runs fine for another day or so.How does one REALLY restart wireless in Debian without rebooting? TIA
Maybe the kernel module blacks out - try to find it, unload it and reload it using modprobe...
