Hi. For connecting the different wireless networks I set up runlevels:
Code:
# ls -l /etc/runlevels/wlan-bonn/

 airport -> /etc/init.d/airport*
 net.eth1 -> /etc/init.d/net.eth1*
The airport script just does a modprobe airport.
Code:
#!/sbin/runscript
# Copyright 1999-2005 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: $

depend() {
        before net.eth1
}

start() {
        ebegin "load aiport modules"
        modprobe airport
        sleep 5
        eend $?
}

stop() {
        ebegin "unloading airport modules"
        rmmod airport
        rmmod orinoco
        rmmod hermes
        eend $?
}


Why do I get the following message:
Code:
# rc wlan-bonnwg
 * load aiport modules ...                   [ ok ]
 * ERROR:  net.eth1 is already starting.

I think it's because modprobe does start some scripts itself:
Code:
May 14 15:40:57 marialin airport: Card registered for interface eth1
May 14 15:41:01 marialin rc-scripts: WEP key is not set for "BNET" - not connecting
May 14 15:41:01 marialin rc-scripts: Couldn't associate with any access points on eth1
May 14 15:41:01 marialin rc-scripts: Failed to configure wireless for eth1


When I switch again to rc wlan-bonn it works and eth1 is being configured.

Instead of having all modules in /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6 I like to have my modprobe scripts in different runlevels such as wireless environment or firewire environment.

*bump*
I tried this again because I don't need airport modules up all the time.
