You should use "iwlist scan" after "up the eth1" and do many try. Sometimes I must make several try to obtain connection. My config ------------------------------------------------------- iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.0.102 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1 # this is for using package resolvconf dns-domain xxxxx dns-search xxxxx dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1 wireless-essid xxxxx pre-up modprobe ieee80211softmac pre-up modprobe bcm43xx # can't connect without a scan post-up iwlist scan # ifdown eth1 freeze the machine if don't unload the module pre-down modprobe -r bcm43xx -------------------------------------------------------- Bin > > Any ideas? > > A.
