<p>Hi</p>
<p></p>
<p>Well it seems a manual shell command as root ## ifup wlan0 activates the card.</p>
<p>Now I am conected to ping the router and use the internet and Local net.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:600">I am happy with the results.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:600">Just two questions.</span></p>
<p> 1 .. What do I do to activate ifup wlan0 on Boot? I find no ifcfg-wlan0 script.</p>
<p> Where is it do I write one, if so an example please </p>
<p> 2.. What utilities can I use to see Signal power Graphically and to pick up another router on which I am allowed and in Range of as I only entered One ESSID.</p>
<p> Or is this Automatic?</p>
<p>My INFO AS OF IFDOWN wlan0 & IFUP wlan0</p>
