 |
|
I am trying to build a wire;ess access point using the islsm drive on a SMC 2802 V2. It seems to work as a normal card, except when I start it, I get the following:
| Code: |
* Starting eth2
* /etc/conf.d/wireless is deprecated
* Please put all settings in /etc/conf.d/net
* /etc/conf.d/wireless is deprecated
* Please put all settings in /etc/conf.d/net
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
* Configuring wireless network for eth2
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device eth2 ; No space left on device.
* eth2 does not support setting the mode to "master"
* eth2 connected to ESSID "MyNet" at FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
* in managed mode on channel 3 (WEP disabled)
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
* You are using a deprecated configuration syntax for eth2
* You are advised to read /etc/conf.d/net.example and upgrade it accordingly
* Bringing up eth2
* 192.168.0.1
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory [ ok ]
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory

Any suggestions?
Thanks! |

Yeah. Don't use /etc/conf.d/wireless. Use the methods documented here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=4&chap=4
To set up an AP, you're probably going to want to install the hostapd package. For that card, you likely need to enable HostAP support in the kernel, although I'm not familiar with islsm driver.
