Hi Guys,
I have been facing this strange problem on my new laptop.
Whenever i boot into gentoo after shutting down windows, NetworkManager
is not able to find any wireless networks. Now if I reboot the system once
then it's detected easily. I had read sometime back that XP can switch off
your network device on shutdown. Tried to google for a solution but so far no
luck.
Thanks
Gaurav |

Have you tried accessing the card from the CLI?
| Code: | ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 |

Did you use
(This should be after the commands in my last post, and just look for any output)
From the CLI. Sorry if this is basic, but you havent posted too much information to go on so far. Also, try tailing you logfiles while running the wireless commands to lookout for error messages.
| Code: | | tail -f /var/log/messages |
If none of that helps, can you post the output of the commands Ive posted, and the last relevant lines in /var/log/messages. |
