Hello,

I recently setup my wireless internet (Centrino) and I have a few
concerns. I'm using Fedora Core 3 and I'm somewhat new to Linux.

1. How does the whole process of setting up my internet connection work?
I know this somehow involves the use of "iwconfig" and "ifup eth1" but
I'm not sure how the process works. Does "iwconfig" setup "ifup eth1" to
be able to determine my IP? If this question cannot be answered briefly,
a link would be appreciated.

2. Because I live in an area with lots of wireless connections, I found
myself connecting to routers that I shouldn't be and I believe that my
internet connection is dropping from time to time because of this. If my
wireless internet connection dies, what is the most proper way to
restart it (as opposed to re-booting my machine, which I normally do)?

Thank you for your time, it is appreciated...
