Hi there,
I am a linux newbie and recently installed ubuntu onto a Toshiba laptop
(Satellite P25-S607). I have a couple questions about a Netgear WPN511 PCMIA
card that worked under Windows to connect wirelessly to my router at home.
Initially, the card did not work. But after a bit of internet research and
trial and error, I am able to get the card to work, but not automatically. That
is, when I first boot up, the card does not work, until I use the Terminal
program and enter the following lines:
sudo ifdown ath1
sudo ifup ath1
After those two commands, the wireless card works. How do I set up the computer
so that I don't have to manually type in those two commands? Can someone
explain what is going on and why is it that these two commands are able to get
the card to work?
Thanks,
Eugene Tsai
