/etc/init.d/net.ra0 is not bringing up the interface?
Well it was working, then I wanted to add this to my /etc/conf.d/net:
essid_ra0=( "my essid" )
Now the same problem is happening again, any advice?
Nothing else in my /etc/conf.d/net except for this:
sleep_scan_ra0="5"config_ra0=( "dhcp" )

Look at /etc/conf.d/wireless.example to see how you are meant to configure
/etc/conf.d/net to manage your wireless card either using iwconfig, or using
wpa_supplicant. *You probably need something like:
sleep_scan_ra0="3" #where "3" is three seconds
HTH.
