Re: RedHat9, Cisco Aironet 350, Vaio GRX670

I had a similiar problem with my home wireless setup and although I do not 
have the same card, here is what I did to fix it:

- In your /etc/rc[35].d startup directories, re-link the startup of the PCMCIA 
stuff to before the network gets started (I think it was 'S24pcmcia' and I 
moved mine to 'S09pcmcia')
- If you go digging through the /etc/pcmcia stuff and the /etc/init.d scripts, 
you will see that your setting in /etc/pcmcia/*.opts will not get 
incorporated on boot!  So, in my /etc/sysconfig/network, I added the 
following lines:

MODE="managed"
ESSID="any"
KEY-"<my-WAP-key>"

Hope this helps,
