I confess that I have not loaded any special drivers for my wireless card, but did not think I needed to since it works perfectly. Like I said, after boot I can reopen the connection wizard, locate and load my saved profile, grab an IP via the Auto DHCP button, and it works perfectly. It just does not do this automatically upon reboot.Dougal wrote:But what kind of messages do you get in /tmp/bootsysinit.log?popee wrote:Dogone is correct that there is a problem autoconnecting to the internet upon [re]boot. The wizard does indeed save the profile, but an internet connection is not automagically made upon boot. From what I've seen, you have to manually go back into the wizard, load your profile, then grab an IP.
Is it another case of the wireless scan finding nothing?
In that case it would most likely be a driver problem, so it would be good to get a list of the drivers it occurs with (maybe it's only one?), the kernel version people use (i.e they use 4.1 or 4.1retro) and probably try and google and see if it's a known issue -- since if the wireless scan finds nothing, it isn't really a wizard bug... (I could add something to allow the user to select a profile to be "forcefully" used on boot, but that's kinda ugly...)
Here is my bootsysinit log:

Could it be a matter of not enough time allotted in the boot process for the card to initialize?
In any case, I agree that this may not be a connection wizard issue, so perhaps I need to take this matter to another thread. Just posting here in case a connection to the wizard was seen by those far more knowledgeable than I. I don't want to muddy this thread w/ non-relevant issues.
