Networking :: Error -110 Disabling MAC port...

Well,

I've been "frugaling" right along now for a couple of months now, loving it. Notice that about every 5-6 boot, I have to re-pump the wireless PCI card (Netgear MA311) to get it up. I set the iwconfig and pump once in /opt/bootlocal.sh. Now for two days I'm getting the error message in the post title. Card is disabled, not eth0 in ifconfig, just lo. Tried prism, no help.
It's a dual boot PC and the darn thing works every time with WinXP (man, I hate that). Any help on getting this to work is appreciated.

I've tried resetting the card with

Code Sample

iwpriv eth0 force_reset

and this helps. Now it gets to the router, gets the DHCP info EXCEPT it has the wrong gateway IP??? The output of ifconfig and iwconfig look normal. So I use netcardconfig and set a static IP (with the proper gateway and DNS IP). Still doesn't work. I can PING the router just fine. I pump the card at it's fine. Still works EVERY time in Windows.

After reading a number of posts that indicated that wireless networking problems cropped up with the 2.0 release, I downloaded DSL 1.5. Booted up on it a couple of times and the wireless card works just fine. Seems to be pulling the configuration info from the HD (iwconfig paramaters), even though I booted on the CD. I guess maybe I'll just frugal install this version and try it for awhile.
