Mark,
Sorry long delay -- slighly busy lately!
Since I was only kinda-halfway watching this thread, and have forgotten several details, if you still need this help, could you please briefly summarize your before setting & results and your new-install setings &results, then I will (finally!) be able to check the Linux boot for the ifo for you.
Again, I apologize for the long silence; I just -did- -not- have time to even _look_ at any email that was not urgent to making a living, much less answer it; just moved it to local storage to keep the inbox available...
Lemme know, rgh.

Thought: what about setting the address, gateway, etc, to be the same as when the box runs FC? Not hard, and should guarantee connection since the nic & the router managed before. I'm sure some of us out hee could step you through this if you are willing & need help (I don't remember if you said your skil-level, although I am assuming that you probably do not need help for such a triviality).
best, rgh.
Robert, I was wondering about that over lunch. Do you mean just using route commands somewhere (where actually?) and setting up routes that say what wlan0's address and the default gateway are?
If so where would I put those??? My skills on a scale of 1-10 are probably unmeasurably low. I can imagine putting some route commands someplace like /etc/conf.d/local./start. Is that the right place? (Assuming this is even what you meant!) If it is I think I should be able to test that idea by hand.
I don't know how to test this idea though. For kicks I made up a device called wlan1 and (with no /etc/inid.d/net.wlan1 file and no wlan1 entries in the net config file) tried to make some routes:
dragonfly ~ # route add -net 192.168.9.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev wlan1 SIOCADDRT: No such device dragonfly ~ #
I presume that if wlan1 existed I'd be telling the system to route everything destined to the bus 192.168.9.X through wlan1, correct? Anyway, it didn't work.
Would it work if I copied net.wlan0 to net.wlan1 and added wlan1 entries in /etc/conf.d/net??????
Thanks, Mark
