 |
|
my wlan doesn't work on startup and the minutes after it:
| Code: | [root@schlepptop:~]# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
* Starting wlan0
* Loading networking modules for wlan0
* modules: iwconfig essidnet iptunnel ifconfig dhclient apipa
* iwconfig provides wireless
* ifconfig provides interface
* dhclient provides dhcp
* Configuring wireless network for wlan0
* Connecting to "ERROR" (WEP enabled - open) ... [ !! ]
* Failed to configure wireless for wlan0 |
when i try later, it works;
| Code: | [root@schlepptop:~]# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
* Starting wlan0
* Loading networking modules for wlan0
* modules: iwconfig essidnet iptunnel ifconfig dhclient apipa
* iwconfig provides wireless
* ifconfig provides interface
* dhclient provides dhcp
* Configuring wireless network for wlan0
* Connecting to "ERROR" (WEP enabled - restricted) ... [ ok ]
* wlan0 connected to "ERROR" at 00:01:E3:04:BD:40
* in managed mode (WEP enabled - restricted)
* Configuring wlan0 for "ERROR" ... [ ok ]
* Bringing up wlan0
* 192.168.2.133 |
my config looks like this:
| Code: | [root@schlepptop:~]# egrep '^[^#]' /etc/conf.d/wireless
essid_wlan0="ERROR"
mode_wlan0="managed"
channel_wlan0="6"
key_ERROR="s:secret enc restricted"
mac_key_0001E304BD40="s:secret enc restricted"
config_ERROR=( "192.168.2.133 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255" ) |
has anyone an idea what could be wrong (i tried it with 2 different pcmcia cards)? |

| Try playing with the sleep_scan setting. I used to have a similar problem and found setting this value helped. |
