Even though I do this when I start up the computer, I have to redo when it starts up again. Also, when the computer is booting up, it says: Bringing up interface wifi0. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[ OK ] Determining IP information for wifi0. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[ FAILED ] and it takes a long time to say failed, almost a minute. I don't want this to slow down the boot up, even if I do get those other commands after it. Thanks in advance, Adam </body> </html>
