If this were a Prism-based card using the linux-wlan-ng ebuild, I'd say that you need to be sure to start up the wireless LAN (/etc/init.d/wlan) before you start up the network device. This could be accomplished by adding a dependency in /etc/init.d/net.eth1. Since you're not using that particular software... the best I can do is an educated guess: you might have a similar dependency for that software. That is, there might be some other system that has to start up first for eth1 to come up properly. Nathan Meyers [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
