[driverloader] Fixed - Issue with Dell TrueMobile 1300andLinksysBEFW11S4r2

[Andrew Crown]

Jean-Simon,

I'm able to set the key and essid in the ifcfg-eth1 file in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and it works on boot, but that's
essentially setting it manually is my understanding.  I haven't been
able to get the PCMCIA cardctl mechanism to work as of yet with Driver
Loader, however I'll try this again at home tonight when I boot up.  

Thx,  

AC

Hi,

thank you for the update. You also mentioned that you had to manually
change the key and essid. Is this also fixed?

Not sure if the 1.2 version had anything to do with it or not, but I
fixed this tonight.  I think it could be a bug on the Linksys too...

I turned WEP off then on again and it mysteriously started working...

My Linksys equipment is the BEFW11S4 revision 2.

Thanks again,

What type of Linksys equipment do you have?
