hello, I've noticed that my wireless connection tends to drop once in a while and only restores itself after a relatively longish period. I'm dealing with it now by connecting a laptop by wire (the box doesn't have a screen or a keyboard) and running "/etc/rc.d/netif restart ral0", but that's a bother. googling didn't bring up any useful results, so I'm wondering, what are the best ways to mitigate or fix this (aside from using a wire)? I'm considering writing a simple script that'd constantly ping my router and restart the wlan interface if it stops responding, but perhaps there's something pre-made or more simple than that available? cheers, reinis -- http://untu.ms/
