Sorry for that. As far as I remember it was the same. And I compared the values with the ones stored in /etc/sysconfig/networking/...ifup-eth1 > Your was already installed when you installed centos5 ? And for FC8 ? What do you mean? If the card was already installed? Yes it was. And on all tests it was a fresh installation. >Can you try to install a FC8 kernel, if you don't suffer dependency >problem ? (or with a FC7 kernel) I can try this as well, but not within the next two weeks. So you're assuming it's related to the kernel? On the OpenSuSE it's kernel 2.6.18.8-0.7-default, which seems to be nearly the same as on CentOS5 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5. So I don't believe it will be fixed with a newer kernel. >If static IP is working, are you sure your DHCP is working on the wireless side ? Yes, I am sure. Another (Windows) laptop is working fine with DHCP in the same WLAN. Looking forward to hearing from you.
