Hi, I have a Dell Latitude D610 laptop that has a bwi wireless interface. I can successfully connect to a 802.11g netgear router. I use the following commands to bring it up:
#!/bin/sh ifconfig bwi0 nwid <my ap name> nwkey persist:0x<my wep key> ifconfig bwi0 up dhclient bwi0 ping -c 10 www.google.com However, after it is up, the network first comes up for about 10-30 seconds, in that time, all ping works fine. Then, the network stops working, I cannot even ping my AP. It stuck in this state for about 1 or 2 minutes, then everything works fine again. Does anyone know what is wrong? Thanks, Jingshao Chen
