I did an emerge update for the latest stable wireless-tools to cure the problem reported at https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-577747-highlight-wireless+extension.html, and now I get the follwoing error when boting 2.6.22-gentoo-r5:
| Code: | # /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
* Starting eth1
* Configuring wireless network for eth1
* eth1 connected to ESSID "whistler" at 00:0D:88:83:50:D9
* in managed mode on channel 1 (WEP enabled - restricted)
* Bringing up eth1
* dhcp
* Running dhcpcd ...
Error, eth1: interface is not Ethernet, FireWire, InfiniBand or Token Ring
|
Any pointers? That last phrase doesn't even show up on Google searches. |

Can you post emerge --info ?
Also, did you upgraded you kernel, because if so, you need to reinstall your wifi driver in order to have a working network. |

Here's emerge --info (note that the kernel is different-- I can't get on the net with the newer kernel).
| Code: | # emerge --info

I did upgrade the kernel-- everything works fine with the old kernel 2.6.20-gentoo-r8. But the driver is in the kernel. It looks like the wireless device associates with the access point just fine, but it gives a strange error.[/quote] |

I don't have /sbin/ip. Is this the problem? |

O.k., I installed iproute2 and here's the output in the new kernel:
| Code: |
# /sbin/ip a show dev eth1
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ieee802.11 MY:MA:CA:DD:RE:SS brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
|
dhcpcd -d eth1 still gives me the error. |

Do you have any other interfaces?
How about just the "ip a" output? |
The driver is hostap_pci for a Linksys WMP11 PCI card. I have a wired interface, which is assigned to eth0.
/sbin/ip a yields (in the old working kernel)
| Code: |
$ /sbin/ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,10000> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

I'll check he command in the new kernel |

What's the full "ip a" output in your broken kernel? |
O.k., I think the problem is that kernel 2.6.22 calls my wireless device wlan0 while kernel 2.6.20 calls it eth1. So I removed the automatically generated udev rule, and started wlan0 instead. |
