I have a Gateway 7510GX laptop with a Broadcom 4318 wireless network
card. I have had difficulties in the past with this card but have
finally been able to get it working by using the builtin bcm43xx module.
The problem that I seem to have is that the interface does not come up
automatically after each reboot. I have to issue the command:
"ifconfig eth1 up"
to bring up the interface. It does not happen immediately, but after
20-30 seconds, it will start working. I think this is tied into dhcp.
I have assigned the IP address to the laptop statically as well as the
other computers in the house. I want them to get the same IP address
each time they start. The Linksys WRT54G is the access point/router.
In the /etc/network/interfaces file, there are the following entries:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
wireless-essid hahnfamily
address 192.168.100.16
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.100.14
wireless-key ???????? (deleted by me)
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet dhcp
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
Output from lspci -v:
0000:03:07.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318
[AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
Subsystem: Broadcom Corporation Gateway 7510GX
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 185

This should be something simple. Thanks.
You would also need a broadcast entry for eth1, like
192.168.100.255.
BTW, you don't actually need a static IP for your wireless
interface if you can tie the desired IP in the router to the MAC
address of your card -- most routers allow this. The same holds
for any interface...
