 Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2006 9:30 am Post subject: [Solved] Automatically running script on startup |
 |
|
Hi,
I'm not sure what section to put this in...
I want to run the following commands on startup to bring up my wireless network:
| Code: |
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
ifconfig ath0 up
iwlist ath0 scan
iwconfig ath0 essid "myessid"
wpa_supplicant -B -Dmadwifi -iath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhclient ath0
|
How do I go about doing this? I know you can rc-update add net.ath0, but I'm using wpa_supplicant in this case.
Thanks

You could put that lot in /etc/conf.d/local.start but baselayout supports wpa_supplicant fine, see /etc/conf.d/net.example. Not sure what version of baselayout it was added but I've been using it for at least six months.
Cheers

Thanks for the quick replies.
I'd flicked through that long thread but didn't really take it in.
For simplicity I put it in /etc/conf.d/local.start though I'm sure baselayout is a more elegant solution. |

If it helps, I have the following in my net, note that I use wpa_supplicant and NDISwrapper:
| Code: | modules=(
"iproute2"
"dhcpcd"
"wpa_supplicant"
)
modules_wlan0=( "!plug" )
plug_timeout="5"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
config_eth0=(
"dhcp"
)
config_eth1=(
"dhcp"
)
config_wlan0=(
"dhcp"
)
|
I have a symlink for net.wlan0 in my /etc/init.d, I've also got a few settings in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
| Code: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="blueloop"
psk="............"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
scan_ssid=1
priority=5
} |
It works absolutely flawlessly to my Draytek upstairs and that's with a very naff RT2400
Cheers
