<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Haven't tried that, but I don't think that is the
problem, or not the only one. After I insert the card it is seen by hotplug and
gets hooked, or whatever it's called. However if you then run iwconfig to see
what it's been set up as then you see all the default parameters from the
driver. So it obviously isn't executing the commands in the mapping stanza that
do things like setting the essid.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think this might be a question for the

<DIV><SPAN class=640085419-22042005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I *think* this
is kind of the point of running "ifconfig wlan0 up"</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=640085419-22042005><FONT face=Arial size=2>It will bring the
card back up, with the new parameters you've just set.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=640085419-22042005><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, without ending
your script with that, the card isn't "re-set" with the new
config.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=640085419-22042005><FONT face=Arial size=2>As I said before,
I'm not entirely sure about this, but it must be worth trying. I always end with
the "ifconfig XXXX up" command & haven't had any problems with settings not
being properly applied.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
