Whenever I reboot my computer, my wireless connection doesn't work unless I go into System > Administration > Networking and deactivate my wireless card and then reactivate it. I suppose I could incorporate the commands ifdown eth1, ifup eth1, and dhclient eth1 into the startup sequence, but I feel like that would be more like stepping around the problem as opposed to fixing it.
Also, occasionally, the wireless will just stop working in the middle of doing things after it has been working just fine, and it won't work again until I reboot, deactivate and activate again.
Some other things to note is that when the computer is booting up, it often pauses on "Configuring Network Interfaces..." for quite a long time before it moves on, and the "synchronizing clock with ntp.ubuntulinux.org" part often (but not always) fails.
I am using Ubuntu 5.10 (which Erin helped me install--thanks!), and an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 wireless card which Ubuntu recognized with no problem when I installed it.
My internet service provider is Qwest, and I'm using an Actiontec GT701-WG DSL modem with wireless.
On a seperate note, I would like to be able to connect to various wireless networks (such as BYU, home, friend's house) without going in and changing the settings manually for each network I visit. I downloaded and installed network-manager, but I'm really not sure how it works...
Anyway, thanks a lot!
