Hello,
I'm using a Fritz WLAN USB-Stick to connect to my network. When I cold boot my computer the WLAN does not work. I'm using the following command to get it running:
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
Where I set up with visudo the sudoers file accordingly. Unfortunately I'm not that familiar with the sudoers file and I'm using the following syntax:
Code:
sordon ALL=(ALL) ALL
But I guess that is a potential security risk.
Therefore I'm looking for a better method to get the Fritz WLAN USB-Stick to work. Oh, by the way when I make a warm boot of my PC the stick is working right away. I'm using the stick with ndiswrapper.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Sordon |

Code:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug irda0
iface irda0 inet dhcp
# The wlan network interface avm ndiswrapper
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless FritzBox
Please write an new /etc/network/interfaces, than you get wlan with Fritz!Wlan at cold boot. mfg nonoo |

I made some change to the interfaces file, but the problem is not fixed. Maybe I should add that I'm using WPA for encryption therefore also wpa_supplicant is involved.
It would help already if I could get a better way to restart the networking without my sudo approach.
PS: Currently I do not have access to this PC, therefore I cannot show my interfaces file. |

| OK, problem seems to be solved now. Actually since three weeks or so. I do not know exactly of the changes I did to the interface file or the changed position of the USB stick (I put it half a meter higher) did the trick. Anyway now after a cold boot the WLAN is up and running and I got rid of the settings in the sudoers file. |
