 Posted: Tue Aug 17, 2010 12:36 pm Post subject: [Solved] wlan shutting down (SIOCSFLAGS:Unknown Error 132) |
 |
|
Hi all
i got a problem during installation on eeepc p900
(again xD this installation is driving me mad xD )
when i do "/etc/ini.d/net.wlan0 restart" it shut down wlan0
thenn trying to restarting it says me
"SIOCSFLAG: Unknown Error 132".
i know what cause it: when bringing down wlan it litterally "shut down" it (RF Switch...)
i mean: it hardware turn off the wireless card
then fail to turn on afterwise
i got similar problem with the big laptop, then i just removed "RF Switch Control" from kernel (don't remember the exact name) and all worked fine
but i really _don't_ whant removing this from kernel 'cause eeepc _has_ software/hotkey switch to turn on and off wireless (and that's useful to save battery charge)
i'd like to post here my .config if could be useful but it's really too long...
btw i compiled a kernel _without_ modules so please, don't tell me to state lsmod 
other useful information:
| Code: | $ lsmod
Opening /proc/modules: No such file or directory

Assuming you have emerged rfkill, what happens if you add | Quote: | preup () {
if [[ ${IFACE} == "wlan1" ]]; then
rfkill unblock all
fi
} |
to /etc/conf.d/net and run | Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart |
? |

mmmhhh to be honest i did not emerge rfkill until now
BUT
i did some experiment with the Fn+F2 button (that turn on and off wireless)
and this is the result
1) trying a direct restart (by init script)
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart
* Stopping wlan0
* Bringing down wlan0
* Shutting down wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Starting wlan0
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132
* Configuring wireless network for wlan0
* Trying to force preferred in case they are hidden
* Failed to associate with any preferred access points on wlan0
* Failed to configure wireless for wlan0
|
Then if i hardware turn off wireless card (by perssing Fn+F2 keys)
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
* Starting wlan0
* Configuration not set for wlan0 - assuming DHCP
* Bringing up wlan0
* dhcp
* network interface wlan0 does not exist
* Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver) [ !! ]
|
Now i turn on card (again, pressing Fn+F2 keys)
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
* ERROR: net.wlan0 is already starting.
# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 status
* status: starting
# ifconfig wlan0
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:15:af:a6:bb:5a
inet addr:192.168.1.125 Bcast:192.168.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0

|
of course i need to wait a little while (about 10-15 seconds) before ifconfig (but i got conky who can help me saying when wlan card is up )
this mean, i need to hardware shut down and turn on crd everytime i whant a restart?
it's fine, ok
btw i'll try your suggestion as soon as i emerge rfkill... |

Or disable that inside your kernel and you will be good to go  |

yeah i know 'cause i did it on my bigger notebook
but on eeepc i got an "hardware software switch" i mean i can turn off wifi card by pressing Fn+F2 (and it work!) so disabling RF Switch from kernel will make it impossible to do :\ |
