Thanks for all the replies guys. The wiki link is helpful. The wiki tells to make changes in /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules . However, I do not have this file. The closest I had was 70-persistent-net.rules . So I made changes to that instead. The stanzas in /etc/network/interfaces now point to wlan0. The good thing is that I do get network connection at the end of boot + the interface name stays the same. But the boot process spends a lot of time in "association" and "disassociation" phases. $dmesg | grep wlan0 | wc -l 209 The log file $dmesg | grep wlan0 > wlan0.messages is attached. Is this kind of association/disassociation normal? I have not seen that when I was using ipw3945. thanks raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/
