 Posted: Mon Dec 13, 2010 4:20 am Post subject: net.wlan0 missing |
 |
|
I know I'm missing something drop dead obvious, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. it appears that my net.wlan0 does not exist. when I look in /etc/init.d/ the only things starting with net are net.eth0, net.eth1 and net.lo.
Did I miss something in make menuconfig? Like having my Atheros Wireless Card not configured as a Module? |

Try creating it by running the following command in the /etc/init.d/ directory...
| Code: | | ln -s net.lo net.wlan0 |

That got it in there, but when ever I try to run a made script to connetc (that has worked before every time it has been used) and I get this result:
| Quote: | wlan0: ERROR while getting interfaces flags: No such device
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such device.
wlan0: dhcpcd 4.0.15 starting
wlan0: read_interface: No such device |

The only headdings that come up are lo and sit0. I tried # ifconfig up wlan0 and # ifconfig up net.wlan0 and got this: | Quote: | wlan0: Host name lookup failure
ifconfig: '--help' gives usage information. |
I'm thinking that this has something to do with improper configuration of the kernel. So if that's the case, do I do make menuconfig and if so, what am I supposed to do? |

Umm... lspci doesn't exist on the system.
| Quote: | # lspci
-bash: lspci: command not found |
And this is dumb, but I don't know how to post a kernel config... >_< |

In that case, your kernel is not aware of either a wired or a wireless LAN.
Can you post the pci configuration requested by Sergey.T?
Edit: I see our replies passed each other in flight. Since you cannot post the output of lspci, how about the output of cat /proc/bus/pci/devices

The only problem is that he does not seem to have a wired LAN either :/ (See the edit to my last post)

| Yeah but that's ok. I'll just chroot in through a Live Disk and do it through there. Same results yes? |

I also use an atheros wireless card and here is what I have in my kernel...

While you are in there, check the following:
| Code: |
Device Drivers --->
[*] Network device support --->
[*] Ethernet (1000 Mbit) (NEW) --->
<*> Realtek 8169 gigabit ethernet support |
If that and JC99s suggestion do not conjure up eth0 and wlan0, then perhaps it's time to summon up pappy_mcfae

I've already got the "Atheros Wireless Cards" menu starred (should it be a module???). It has been set this way when the problem was & is going on. And under that menu there is: | Quote: | [*] Atheors wireless debuggin
<*> Atheros 5xxx wireless cards support
[*] Atheros 5xxx debugging
<*> Atheros 802.11n wireless cards support
[*] Atheros ath9k debugging
<*> AR9170 802.11n USB support |
And yes I did star all of them. Any error in that info? Like if something is supposed to be a module, or not selected... |

kernel config is /usr/src/linux/.config
But please do not paste it as a message, use special services, for instance, http://paste-it.net.
Also, run
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart
|
and then paste dmesg output. |
