 |
|
Hey
I upgraded my udev to 103 today and I cannto get my wireless to work. I am using ipw3945 drivers from portage. The thing is - before upgrading, net.eth0 started automatically wothout any problems. Now, I cannot even start it manually (it says "no such device"). Module ipw3945 is loaded without any errors but its not used by anything (as shown by lsmod). I know that there are many threads on this forum, but I haven't found any that exactly matches my problem. Thanks
Wojtek
[EDIT]
Seems like the new version of udev doesn't start ipw3945d anymore. After I run it manually everything start correctly.

The same problem on my machine.
I had to execute ipw3945d manually.
If you put following code at the end of your /etc/conf.d/net it will be started automatically:
| Code: |
preup() {
[[ ${IFACE} = "eth1" ]] && /sbin/ipw3945d && sleep 2
return 0
}
|
Assuming you wireless interface is eth1. |

I found a different solution - I reemerged ipw3945 and ipw3945d and added it to the proper runlevel and everything works perfect.
cheers
