 Posted: Thu Oct 09, 2008 10:12 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] wlan0 does not exist at startup |
 |
|
Hello,
Yesterday I upgraded all the system, and now wireless does not work (I've used it without problems during weeks, it's a Intel 4965).
On startup, I get this error:
| Code: | /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart
* Bringing up interface wlan0
* ERROR: interface wlan0 does not exist
* Ensure that you have loaded the correct kernel module for your hardware
* ERROR: net.wlan0 failed to start
|
If I try
wlan starts, but I'm not able to use wpa_supplicant, restart shows this: | Code: | /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart
* Bringing down interface wlan0
* Stopping wpa_cli on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Stopping wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Bringing up interface wlan0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Starting wpa_cli on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Backgrounding ... ...
* WARNING: net.wlan0 has started, but is inactive |
I tried to downgraded wpa_supplicant (from 0.6.4 to 0.5.10), udev (from 130 to 129 and 128), last versions I remember working, also I downgraded some other packages I upgraded on last sync, but anything change.
What can I do? What I'm doing wrong!?
Sorry for my english I don't know if it's good. Thanks in advance for all

| What does ifconfig -a say ? Did your /etc/conf.d/net file somehow get overwritten during upgrade ? |

After using modprobe iwl4965, ifconfig changes:

/etc/conf.d/net is the same before and after upgrade. Here it is:
| Code: | modules_wlan0="wpa_supplicant !plug"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
#wpa_timeout_wlan0=5
#config_wlan0="dhcp"
#dhcpcd_wlan0="-t 2"
#dhcp_wlan0="nontp nonis"
#modules_eth0="!plug"
config_eth0="dhcpcd"
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10"
#ifplugd_eth0="--api-mode=wlan0"
#plug_timeout="10" |
Yep, I found this on dmesg (I don't know if it's normal):

Ok, thanks a lot!
I've followed the guide using all configuration on the post and now I'm able to use wpa_supplicant to connect, but every time I boot I have to run modprobe iwl4965.
I don't make it [SOLVED] in order to find a solution. |

Finally I found the solution to my problem.
I've recompiled kernel with Wireless MAC and 4965 Drivers, inside the kernel, with [*], not with [M]. Now I've everything working. |
