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?
