I have a Dell CRT. 14", I think. You (or anyone) are welcome to it. My wife is going to make me get rid of it soon anyway as it has been taking up space for too long now. -- Gary Mike Leo wrote: > I have a young friend who is looking for a second/third monitor. > > Any one have any unused old crt's they are willing to part with? > > Thanks > Mike > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Wlug mailing list > Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug

Sounds like you need to look in /etc/network/interfaces and make sure you've got stuff setup properly in there. But I'm guessing a bit since I don't run wireless on my debian box. What's the output of 'cat /etc/network/run/ifstate' before and after the 'ifup ra0 ' command? John

I don't know what you mean by "just work". You say you have already downloaded drivers, compiled and installed, and modified /etc/modules.conf. What is the objection to adding to a boot-time shell script? I am not saying she should do it. You do it and don't tell. > On Jan 3, 2008 8:13 PM, Keith Wright <kwright(a)keithdiane.us> wrote: > > > From: "Adam Keck" <ghostis(a)gmail.com> > > > > > > I can only bring the interface up via running "sudo ifup ra0".

Like maybe you put it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local. -- Keith
