Hi.
I discovered that the wireless works for about 3-5 seconds after I get
an IP address. After that, even thoug everything (gnome network monitor,
gkrellm) indicates that I am still online, nothing gets thorugh. When I
try "ping yahoo.com" it hangs for ever. If I do ifconfig, it shows an
ip address, but with lots of TX/RX errors. Do you think that selinux may
have to do anything with this?
I appreciate any suggestion,
thank you,
Marius
