Re: [SLE] No wireless after boot -- additional info

Just installed SuSE 10.0, and having a strange problem with my wireless.

I configured the wireless exactly the same as I did for all of the previous
9.x versions, but after a boot the wireless does not work.
Only after giving the command "rcnetwork restart wlan-id-etc......"
everything is fine.
But ..... it should work right-away (like it did with 9.0 up to 9.3)
without having to give the restart command after each boot !

Can anybody give me a clue ?

Some additional information :
I found out that in principle all is well, but for some reason the WEP-key
seems to be not used initially, although I have it configured
in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan-id-.........

When using KInternet to connect to the wireless network, it asks for the
WEP-key, which I apply and then it works ok. But why not (anymore)
immediately after boot, like in 9.x ?

Any ideas what might be wrong, please ?

Kind regards,
