Mostly positive install - ibook2 2001

[Tony]

Are you able to put your ibook to sleep and awake again?  I have a
problem with that.

I was able to get my wireless working by adding the following lines to
/etc/network/interfaces file.  I am assuming your are using dhcp
wireless.

# Wireless interface
iface eth1 inet dhcp
 pre-up modprobe airport
 post-down rmmod airport
 post-down rmmod orinoco
 post-down rmmod hermes
 wireless_essid any
 wireless_mode Managed
 wireless_ap any
 wireless_nick Pintas
 wireless_key off

I also commented out the following so that ethernet would not attempt
to connect on boot up.

#auto eth0

I was not able to use the gnome network manager to turn them on/off.
I had to use the following commands as root (i.e. create root shell
with "sudo -s") to turn on either ethernet:

# ifup eth0

or airport card

# ifup eth1

to turn them off use

# ifdown eth0

or

# ifdown eth1

whichever is appropriate.

Hope this helps.

Tony
