Blinking small monitors disappear

#1 Post by numbersix »

One small stupid question: I use wifi pcmcia card with Rutilt, all it is ok (sometimes on boot card don t start, and rutilt hangs, reboot and all ok), the problem is: first time I use it appears on screen two small monitors blinking in activity, then I press something and they disappears!!!!
How can I do to make them (small monitors) appear?

What is it you press that makes them disappear? Do you mean they disappear when you press any key or control?

Blinky starts when a network becomes active, and quits if the network it is showing becomes deactivated. If you have a wired connection you can watch it happen as you type

Code: Select all

ifconfig eth0 up
and

Code: Select all

ifconfig eth0 down
With wireless they often come up while trying to get a DHCP response and then drop out if no signal is received.
