 |

I have my wireless card working fine under gentoo , it setups as device wlan0.
I can ping, and browse fine. However, cupsd,samba, and openssh all fail to start, saying they can't bring up eth0. How do I tell them to use wlan0? |

How do you have /etc/conf.d/net configured?

Well, I thought the pcmcia calls the /etc/pcmcia/network start wlan0
But. the only change I made to /etc/conf.d/net was to add:
iface_wlan0="dhcp"
Otherwise it kept complaining about not having it setup properly.
But I want /etc/conf.d/net to be passed eth0, before it even gets that far, OR, just have openssh,samba, and cups to use wlan0 (that would probably be the best for me) |

Have you solved this problem? I am having the same one now. How do I make sure that these scripts dont complain? I just want them to use eth0....
Thx,
Anton. |

I just love answering my own posts... 
So, what you need to do is get rid of net.eth0 from your (default) runlevel:
| Code: |
rc-update del net.eth0 default
|
Then, edit net.wlan0 such that it starts up the script /etc/init.d/wlan
| Code: |
start() {
/etc/init.d/wlan start
checkconfig || return 1
<snip>
|
And then add net.wlan0 to your (default) runlevel:
| Code: |
rc-update add net.wlan0 default
|
That's it!
Greetings, I hope this will help someone in the future....
Anton. |
