Hi, when frugal DSL 4.0 boots, there's a long delay with a message as follows:
----------------

Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) :
   SET failed on device eth0 ; Operation not supported.

-----------------

The wireless adapter is a "Dell TrueMobile 1150 Series PC Card" in a Dell C610 laptop. Driver is "orinoco_cs"

Thanks for any help you can give to avoid that delay,

Sheldon

hm...looks likes it's ready to go.  Did you pump it: "sudo pump -i eth0" ?

Also, try ejecting/reinserting the card and then running a  script manually.

Thanks, it was the delay I wanted to avoid, while something was trying to "Set Frequency". Apparently that adapter doesn't understand that request.

The card is kind-of built in to the Dell laptop.

The folllowing two lines in  /opt/bootlocal/sh  seem to make it work without that long delay:

Code Sample

sudo iwconfig eth0 mode managed essid sheldon key xxxxxxxxxx 2>&1 >/dev/null
sudo pump -i eth0


If anyone has ideas on how to make it better, I'd appreciate that.

Thanks again,

Sheldon
