Hello,


[phe@localhost ~]$ su -c '/sbin/ifconfig wlan1 up'
Password:
[phe@localhost ~]$ /sbin/ifconfig wlan1
wlan1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:46:63:25:E8

I am missing the RUNNING status in wlan1

On eth0, I have RUNNING.
[phe@localhost ~]$ /sbin/ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:18:64:B3:98

Who can explain me how I can get my wlan1 RUNNING ?

Thanks
