Okay i got everything working pretty well with netcfg and ipw2200 drive ecept one thing. If there is not network activity on the wireless card then it goes to sleep. Then once i go to google.com it takes forever ot load up because the card has to start up again. The hole time it stays connected but it seems like the card goes to sleep. Has anyone else had this problem before?

I use ipw2200 and I don't have this problem. Maybe it's the card. My card is an Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG. What card do you have?

Have the same card
02:06.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05)
and runs perfectly here, never had any problem with linux. I also use netcfg2 ... Do you have some kind of powersaving enabled? What does
iwconfig
show?

Runs fine here, I had some issues some weeks ago which caused my wireless to drop under heavy load. That seems to have fixed itself (might be due to installing wicd-svn from aur)

Read man page for iwconfig. There is a parameter called "power" which manages powersaving features. AFAIK iwconfig ethX power off should get rid of powersaving feature.
