Hi,

I use the baselayout-1.11.9 (which includes wireless-tools) and I configured my system to bring up automatically my network using rc-scripts.

Here is the files it uses:

/etc/conf.d/net
Code:
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )

/etc/conf.d/wireless
Code:
essid_wlan0="my_essid"


But when I boot up my system, dhcpcd sometimes suceeds and sometimes fails (it's very random) giving me this error:
Code:
wlan0 does not exist


I think that sometimes the driver of my wireless card is not yet loaded when dhcpcd tries to set an ip to my network... that's why it says me that wlan0 does not exist.

Note: I think that cause even if dhcpcd failed at boot, once the system is up I can do "dhcpcd wlan0" and it works without any problem.

How can I get rid of this annoying problem... Any idea, plz?

Thanks in advance! :wink:

Ok.. I changed the runlevel of the init script which loads the driverloader (linuxant) module from default to boot (as the other modules) so I'm sure the module is loaded before dhcpcd tries to assign an ip to my network. Everything works now...

Thanks... :)

I'll report this "bug" to linuxant support team.
