This is a request for guidance. I am new to Linux. Internet -> Option ICON 225 -> HP 5271 Pavillon Laptop =>DLink 660 PCMCIA Card. =>LinkSys Wrk54G (FireStarter with ICS) WAN Accessport Once connected the network is stable. The problem is at boot up. When the PC is shutdown (requires manual Power Off). The PC will not then reboot with the Network as shown above running correctly. The eth0 connection connects but not the hso0 connection. Sometimes a simple sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager force-reload will restart the network but on other occasion as today the USB Dongle has to be unplugged first. Usually once replugged and the USB stack has reconfigured then connection can be obtained. Visible notification from the NetworkManger in terms of what is seen on the Taskbar are;
Why is this important it is simple to fix as stated above, well I am planning on replacing my gateway PC with a Linksys NSLU2 (http://www.nslu2-linux.org/) device and would really just like it to work without having to connect to the NSLU2. If once connected, I then reboot the PC (No hard power off), it does so and the Windows PC have access to the Internet. I do not have to log in to the Xubuntu 9.04 PC which is of course what I want. I do not however to intent to or wish my gateway to be powered continuously or indeed continuously connected to the Internet. I hope this adequately describes my problem. Is there some command I can place in my gateway PC's startup script that will perform the same as unplugging the ICON 225? Neill_Rutherford<at>hotmail.com |
