I've been struggling with an intermittent (the worst type) of problem with my Netgear MA311 wireless NIC (frugal).  The lines that I added to /opt/bootlocal.sh were:

Code Sample
iwconfig blah blah blah
pump -k
iwpriv eth0 force_reset
pump -i eth0


Note that this card is "found" as eth0, well documented on the internet.  Also the iwpriv was found somehow and seemed to help.  

Anyway, I wrote a different script today that pings the router first then does the commands in this order, if the ping fails (I removed the code from bootlocal.sh):
Code Sample
pump -k
iwpriv blah
iwconfig blah blah
pump -i eth0


This is working much better, I've re-booted a number of times and the card works everytime.  Does killing pump before setting the iwconfig matter?  Or have I just "hit the lottery" and hit the odds right and it's really no better?
