 After connecting to my router, I always need to manually do "ifup eth0" to
 make the connection work. The interface eth0 is already up in fact, DHCP
 worked, it got its IPv4 address, but still can't connect to "the
 internets". Somehow "ifup eth0" fixes that (even though it reports an
 error that dhclient is already running). I have to redo the ifup from time
 to time because it loses connection (maybe due to suspend).

 B4, q2d04, Joyride 272, connecting to a WRT54G running DD-WRT v23 SP1
 Final, with 128 bit WEP, no problems known with other computers.

 Attaching log: I  booted the machine, it tried to reconnect to my router,
 asked for the wep key (die to #3554), then the icon lit up in home view.
 Seemingly everything is fine, but no connection, ping fails. I then
 inserted my USB flash drive (so you can pinpoint the before-after), and
 after doing "ifup eth0" the ping works fine. Then I copied the log.
