        Re: Auto login

        Are you using ndiswrapper to make it work ?
        I have an intel ipw2200 and it's working at each boot (at least if my modem is not too hot and kill its own signal )
        If not, can you give what you're doing to make it work.

        Cheers

            And if you wait a while it's not getting ip by itself ?
            Can you try to give this info before and after manipulation please ?
            ifconfig -a

            If you can also give the content of file /etc/network/interfaces

            Cheers

                For me it looks like you have no essid set on boot up, but I've heard some people have troubles like this...
                Maybe you can try to add a line about essid in the file /etc/network/interfaces
                Under the line auto ra0 dhcp, add the following :
                wireless-essid westerclan

                Maybe it will work, if not I don't see what to do...

                Good luck
