 |

Hello.
I've a very good wifi connection from boot, and I'm not disappointed in anything. But when I try to restart it due to whatever reason, my terminal shows this message:
| Code: | # /etc/init.d/net.wlp0s29f7u5 restart
* Bringing up interface wlp0s29f7u5
* Configuring wireless network for wlp0s29f7u5
* Connecting to "WLAN_92" in managed mode (WEP Enabled)...

* Failed to configure wireless for wlp0s29f7u5
* ERROR: net.wlp0s29f7u5 failed to start |
And to restart my wifi connection I have to reboot Gentoo. |

Probably a driver bug that needs to be reported to whoever wrote your driver.
If you have the driver built as a kernel module, you could try stopping net.wlp0s29f7u5, remove the module, reinsert the module, and restart net.wlp0s29f7u5 ...

Well, I tried stopping net.wlp0s29f7u5, then I removed the module:
| Code: | | modprobe -r rt2800usb |
Then I reinserted the module:
And then I started net.wlp0s29f7u5. And it worked. But when I tried to restart it afterwards, the same error appeared. |
