Wireless network wont start at boot

[shmu]

Hey can someone tell me what im doing wrong. My Wireless network wont start at boot. Heres my /etc/conf.d/net. its on eth1.

Code: Select all

modules=( "iwconfig" )
key_linksys="[1] 5487176588EAFDFB73CD61C210 key [1] enc open"
preferred_aps=( "linksys" )
config_linksys=( "dhcp" )

Using wifi-radar after boot it works by issuing:

Code: Select all

ifconfig eth1 up; wifi radar -d

However putting this command in /etc/conf.d/local.start it doesnt work. Someone please tell me whats wrong with my conf.d/net

Thanks abunch in advance! [/bug][/code]

net.eth1 needs to be in your default runlevel to start automatically.

Code: Select all

rc-update show

will show you what is starting at what runlevel.

Code: Select all

rc-update add net.eth1 default

will add net.eth1 to the 'default' runlevel. This means that the wireless card will start when you enter the default runlevel, which is the runlevel that gentoo will boot up into.

hope this helps...
