Hi,
it doesn't seem to be a configuration problem. The messages left in
'/var/log/message' indicate that you are unable to send and/or receive
packets with the wireless interface.
Since running 'dldrconfig' after each reboot fix the problem, please try
the following workaround. Please add the following lines at the end of
your '/etc/rc.d/boot.local' file :
---
dldrstop
modprobe driverloader
ifup wlan0
---
Please send at support at linuxant.com the output of 'dumpdiag'. Type the
following in a root shell:
---
dldrconfig --dumpdiag
---
Just send us the generated file located in /tmp ('driverloaderdiag.txt').
With this information, we will try to reproduce the problem.
Regards,
Jonathan
