/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart
* Stopping wlan0
* Bringing down wlan0
* Shutting down wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Stopping wpa_cli on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Stopping wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Starting wlan0
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
Could not set interface 'wlan0' UP [ ok ]
* Starting wpa_cli on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Backgrounding ...
on dmesg

One thing to check is RFKILL in the kernel - for my
thinkpad x300 I had to set *disable* RFKILL. _________________ .... there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth

you get a loading firmware error - I assume you have
installed the proper firmware? (net-wireless/iwl5000-ucode) _________________ .... there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth

i have absolutley no idea.. All i do know it worked in LiveCd... now i can't get it to work at all... Net-wireless command no longer works, i think because i have wpa_supplicant installed now... By the way, i'm a complete novice, so any explanations of certain actions needs more explanaion than normal and i alos require exact commands i need to apply.. thanks _________________ "Liberate tu-temet ex inferis" |

OK - what I meant was is the package net-wireless/iwl5000-ucode
installed or not? _________________ .... there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth

In my case, Sony VGN-SR29VN, it was the same problem. After turning RFKILL off in kernel 2.6.36-r5, the driver (WIFI Link 5100) started to work. Previously, I had the same message with the error number 123. |
