I had occasion to reboot, and now the wireless card is back to its old
evil ways. Again the symptom is that I have to try repeatedly to
get the card to associate with the access point. I believe I mentioned
that I wound up using a loop:
if [ -n "$IF_WIRELESS_AP" ]; then
associate_limit=100
while $IWCONFIG "$IFACE" | grep Not-Associated > /dev/null &&
[ $associate_limit -gt 0 ]
do
sleep 2
echo "Reassociating $associate_limit" >&2
/sbin/ifconfig "$IFACE" up
$IWCONFIG "$IFACE" ap $IF_WIRELESS_AP
associate_limit=`expr $associate_limit - 1`
done
fi
Grotesque, but nothing else seems to get the job done.
