Hi ;)
My wlan0 (D-Link DWL-650+ using acx100-0.2.0_pre8-r3, never versions do not work) works perfect during boot - the ntp-client finds a timeserver and synchronizes, but after login i have no network connection. ifconfig output looks strange:

Code:

wlan0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-11-95-7B-3B-99-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
inet addr:192.168.66.16 Bcast:192.168.66.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:694 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:54 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:123831 (120.9 Kb) TX bytes:5236 (5.1 Kb)
Interrupt:11 Base address:0x4800

When i remove the card (PCMCIA) and put it back again, everything behaves ok:

Code:

wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:95:7B:3B:99
inet addr:192.168.66.16 Bcast:192.168.66.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:1233 (1.2 Kb) TX bytes:650 (650.0 b)
Interrupt:11 Base address:0x4800

I have no idea what is the reason....

Usually ifconfig looks like this when the card is in monitor mode. What does "iwconfig wlan0" show when the card is in that state ?

ha! You've got it

It was because I've run kismet server at boottime.
Thank You
