 |
|
I am getting this error,
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 --verbose start
* Bringing up interface wlan0
* Loaded modules: apipa arping bonding tuntap ccwgroup macchanger macnet wpa_supplicant ssidnet ifconfig system dhcpcd ip6to4
* Configuring wlan0 for MAC address 00:1d:7e:99:99:f5... [ ok ]
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0...
* Detaching to start `/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant'...
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
Could not set interface 'wlan0' UP
ctrl_iface exists and seems to be in use - cannot override it
Delete '/var/run/wpa_supplicant/wlan0' manually if it is not used anymore
Failed to initialize control interface '/var/run/wpa_supplicant'.
You may have another wpa_supplicant process already running or the file was
left by an unclean termination of wpa_supplicant in which case you will need
to manually remove this file before starting wpa_supplicant again.
* start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant' [ !! ]
* ERROR: net.wlan0 failed to start

I have a,
| Code: |
01:06.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
|
I have followed the steps to compile it in the kernel and and installed firmware.
The results of cat /proc/net/wireless
| Code: |
Inter-| sta-| Quality | Discarded packets | Missed | WE
face | tus | link level noise | nwid crypt frag retry misc | beacon | 22
wlan0: 0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
cat /etc/conf.d/net
# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="auto"

Not sure what info is needed, any help is appreciated. |

have you installed the driver? (i had to install for my intel card iwl4965-ucode) The firmware is in the kernel but ther driver should be on the system

The problem seems to be with
ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
I am not sure how to correct this, 1 forum post says they have found the firmware and fixed their issue. Does not say how.
strubbldesign asks,

At least I now know what to search for,

Sorry man, you have a broadcom, I'm not used to see wlan0 for broadcom.
I see sometimes eth1 nowdays and sometimes wlan0.
I'm not sure if the problem is from the broadcom driver or if udev create some crazy device once in a while. |
