Hi RYTCL
You could remove firmware-ralinkwifi.tcz from your onboot.lst if you don't want to load it.
RYTCL:
WiFi card is detected. WiFi networking is not working...

Hi RYTCL
OK, what happens if you run this:
--- Code: ---sudo wifi.sh
--- End code ---
RYTCL:
Yaaaaay... Wireless is up & running.... :)

I had run 'wifi.sh' with Ethernet Cable plugged in. When I disconnected Ethernet to test out WiFi, it failed. Rebooting did not fix at that time.
Do I need to run wifi.sh after reboot every time ?
RYTCL:
I did a reboot and WIFI was out again.
sudo wifi.sh and WIFI was up and running.
Is it possible to automate & add this to Boot Time Startup Scripts ?
