I installed SXDE 1/08 on my Toshiba M9.
My wifi network was discovered but over time the network infc transitions to
not being 'UP'.
A wificonfig scan shows being connected.
I start out this way:
# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232
index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
e1000g0: flags=201000803<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask ff000000 broadcast 0.255.255.255
ether 0:15:b7:b8:38:f0
iwk0: flags=201004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500
index 3
inet 192.168.0.3 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
ether 0:13:e8:76:38:99
lo0: flags=2002000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,VIRTUAL> mtu 8252
index 1
inet6 ::1/128
#
and wind up with:
# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232
index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
e1000g0: flags=201000803<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask ff000000 broadcast 0.255.255.255
ether 0:15:b7:b8:38:f0
iwk0: flags=201004842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index
3
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0
ether 0:13:e8:76:38:99
lo0: flags=2002000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,VIRTUAL> mtu 8252
index 1
inet6 ::1/128
Then to recovery I do:
# ipconfig -i iwk0 up
# ifconfig iwk0
iwk0: flags=201000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 3
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask ff000000
ether 0:13:e8:76:38:99
# ifconfig iwk0 dhcp
# ifconfig iwk0
iwk0: flags=201004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500
index 3
inet 192.168.0.3 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
ether 0:13:e8:76:38:99
#
The /var/adm/messages file shows:

Any ideas as to why the interface is going up and down? Something to do with my
netgear
WGT624 perhaps?
My appreciation in advance.
Happy Holidays!
