Hello everyone;

Ok, so my ethernet is working great through dhcp, but on bootup the system tells me it cannot get access to the access point on eth1 (which is my wireless card).

eth0 is the broadcomm b44
eth1 is an intel ipw2200

This is my conf.d/net file:

config_eth1=( "dhcp" )
fallback_eth0="dhcp"
#
modules=( "iwconfig" )
key_ESSID1=[1] xxxxxhexkeyxxxxxx [1] enc open
#
preferred_aps=( "wirelesspoint" )
#
associate_order="any"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

What I want to do is automatically access my wireless access point at home and still be able to search for other access points when I am away from home. I have wireless-tools and wpa_supplicant installed along with the ipw2200 module. My wireless router uses a hex key with wep encryption.

Thanks
