 |
|
Hi, all...
Everything was well with my wireless access, until upgrading my kernel to 2.6.21-r4, today.
My /etc/conf.d/net: | Code: |
modules=( "dhcp" "wpa_supplicant" )
# Configuration of wired stuff
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10"
# Configuration of Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
config_eth2=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth2="-t 30"
wpa_supplicant_eth2="-Dwext" |
Since the kernel upgrade my wireless (eth2) won't start: | Code: |
/etc/init.d/net.eth2 start
* Starting eth2
* Bringing up eth2
* dhcp
* network interface eth2 does not exist
* Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver) [ !! ]
|
My current driver is madwifi: | Code: |
[ebuild R ] net-wireless/madwifi-ng-0.9.3.1 USE="-injection" |
I'm connected now (hard wired) on eth0.
How do I troubleshoot and fix this?
Would someone please help? 
Thanks!

Just emerge and run: | Code: | | sys-kernel/module-rebuild |
I run it after each kernel upgrade.

i think i know the problem
kernel has moved the wireless radio options
thus , genkernel can't match the oldconfig properly
so i m genkernel --menuconfig now and re-enable the options
compiling now
i get a message when i newly emerge ndiswrapper and it says i don't have wireless radio enabled in kernel options
thus i grep the .config and genkernel config
there is a difference
so i m recompiling my kernel now with
genkernel --menuconfig all
hope to give good news later

problem really solved after
genkernel --menuconfig all
and re-enable wireless radio
since the kernel options moved
