My laptop is a HP Compaq nc8430, and the wireless card is Intel 3945ABG, with if_wpi driver. wpi0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290 ether 00:1b:77:31:1d:74 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect) status: no carrier I can use the wireless correctly when I start the system. But after some time (depends on your wireless router renewing settings), it can not renew the DHCP settings. And, if you try to renew it with sudo /etc/rc.d/netif restart for like more than 2 times, the whole system will crash. The interesting thing is, the renewing problem only occurs on the wireless network with a WPA2 protocol. For the WEP or None-keys network, there is no problem. For the WPA-EAP network, you can redo the DHCP but not /etc/rc.d/netif restart. -- Zhihao Yuan The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
