Hi Everyone, I would like to know about the right way to set up wireless. I have Dell D600 with a Dell TrueMobile 1350 running CURRENT. Ndis works well, and I've written a shell script that brings up my wireless interface everytime that I boot. However, running wireless is still not very smooth. I have a host of problems: => If I leave a wireless zone and then hook-up an ethernet cord my computer will not simply switch to the corded interface. I have to run sysinstall. => If I boot up with the ethernet configured and then enter a wireless zone, I can't simply switch to the wireless - I have to run sysinstall. => If I go from one wireless zone to another, I have to run sysinstall. => Sometimes when I bring the wireless up in sysinstall, I get a 'page fault' and my system crashes. How do I get my machine to dynamically pick the interface that is working? And what do I do about these page faults? I have looked at the Handbook, etc., and while there is some useful information there I can't find anything that deals with changing one's interface on the fly. - Jason
