I don't think that there bugs in conf.d/net just a matter of preference. Alan suggested that wicd is a simpler way to have your wireless configured and it does not need /etc/init.d/*net scripts to function. I am running wpa_supplicant: modules=( "wpa_supplicant" ) wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dwext" and it just works™ for my wireless card. You may want to try something like this in your /etc/conf.d/net: sleep_scan_wlan0="1" config_wlan0=( "dhcp" ) fallback_wlan0=( "192.168.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0" ) fallback_route_wlan0=( "default via 192.168.0.1" ) in case there is a dhcp problem with how the router releases IP address leases. -- Regards, Mick
