I believe Head_on_a_Stick and fsmithred might be on the track.

Cheers,

In my experience, random behaviour is very often caused by faulty hardware.

I think the card uses the legacy driver so

Maybe. I just did 'apt-cache search IWL4965' and it showed firmware-iwlwifi.

grep for just 'iwl' and they can all show up.

I'd like to rule out eudev as the source of the problem before anything else is changed. If so, there's a fix in beowulf-proposed-updates. https://bugs.devuan.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=483

You could also do lsmod |grep iwlwifi to see if the wireless module is loaded.

I think the card uses the legacy driver so

grep iwl4965 /proc/modules

And if it isn't loaded use

# modprobe iwl4965

If that fixes things then add the module name to /etc/modules (or to a file under /etc/modules-load.d/) to force load it every boot.

And please do the following for me. lsmod | wc -l and compare the numbers you get when the wireless does and does not connect after a reboot. Let me know if they are different. Thanks. You could also do lsmod |grep iwlwifi to see if the wireless module is loaded.

the behaviour this - the machine loads to desktop and no connections with wicd show.  The firmware for iw4965 is not loading every boot.  Have to reboot to get it to - then I can connect.  Is there an answer to this problem??

Could you support this with some log messages? Or describing the inconsistent behaviour?
