Re: [gentoo-user] /etc/init.d/net.ra0 is not bringing up the interface?
Well it was working, then I wanted to add this to my /etc/conf.d/net: essid_ra0=( my essid ) Now the same problem is happening again, any advice? Nothing else in my /etc/conf.d/net except for this: sleep_scan_ra0=5 config_ra0=( dhcp ) On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 12:59 PM, Tony Miller mcfiredr...@gmail.com wrote: That was just it!

You probably need something like: sleep_scan_ra0=3 #where 3 is three seconds HTH. -- Regards, Mick

Yes, first please try not to top post because it messes up the natural flow of the question/answer sequence. Then try this syntax in case it works: essid_ra0=my essid -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
