 Posted: Fri Apr 14, 2006 4:32 pm Post subject: WPA & IPW2200 Questions [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I've tried searching and maybe I haven't put in the right terms but I haven't found anything to help me out here.
Scenario: Laptop with 3 states (Undocked, Work Dock, and Home Dock)
Problem: ipw2200 doesn't stay on the same ethX, undocked it's eth1, at home eth2, at work eth3.
Question: How can I get it to stay something specific, such as wlan0 like ndiswrapper did.
I don't want to have to copy around config files depending on my docking state. So far I've been good up until getting this internal card and not using my LinkSys WPC54G card.
Any help would be much appreciated.
AHA!!! I remembered the [SOLVED]

might be what you are looking for.
EDIT: Writing an udev rule might be easier, though.
| Code: | KERNEL=eth*, SYSFS{address}=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx″, NAME=lan0″
KERNEL=eth*, SYSFS{address}=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx″, NAME=wlan0″ |
(where you replace the 'xx:xx...' with your MAC addresses) |
