Then to bring up the network:

The KWiFiManager application shows green bars for the signal strength  
with the following parameter values:

Interface eth1
Connection Speed:---------------->11
Signal strength: 100
Connected to Network: Home
Access Point: 00:11:24:45:66:2e
Local IP: 192.168.1.104
Frequency[channel]: 2.462[11]

Two questions concerning the setup of my Linux WiFi connection:

Q1: If I prepare a bash script of the command sequence above, where  
do I place the script in order to automatically activate my W-Fi  
connection at startup?
Q2: I cannot bring up a webpage in Firefox. I get a "Server not  
found" error. Why?

Comment:  I cannot log out after this. I was obliged to disconnect  
the laptop battery in order to reboot.

Any ideas on why the wireless connection is still not working. Thanks  
in advance.
