My old thinkpad laptop recently started complaining about "interface_variable" not found while starting wlan0.

Code:
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0: line 683: interface_variable: command not found
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0: line 466: interface_variable: command not found


Line 683 in /etc/init.d/net.wlan0:
Code:

ifvar=$( interface_variable ${iface} )

Line 466:
Code:

local ifvar=$( interface_variable ${iface} )


Not sure where to start with this...
This laptop has no other way of connecting, has no cdrom, no floppy or another nic. Anyone seen this error?

Ensure that net.wlan0 is a symlink to net.lo
If it is and net.lo didn't get updated by etc-update then re-emerge baselayout with the --noconfmem option and try again
