 Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2007 11:23 pm Post subject: final step to have perfect wireless |
 |
|
I have been working on a wireless problem for a while. I have found others with the same problem, but all have abandoned it.
I am using a wusb54g v4. ralink chipset with ndiswrapper.
I can connect with iwconfig wlan0 essid Roseland, iwconfig wlan0 key boobies, dhcpcd wlan0.
But, when I link net.lo to net.wlan0, I cannot start the service.
Everything looks good until it reaches
| Quote: | Connecting to "Roseland" in managed mode (WEP Disabled) .... [!!]
Failed to configure wireless for wlan0 [!!] |
I can write a script to load everything in local, but I need to do it this way otherwise my mythbackend will screw up.
I feel bad about posting about wireless, but I have gone over the gentoo wireless and I have searched for HOURS on the forums and google. Any helpers would be amazing.
from conf.d/net:
| Quote: | modules_wlan0=("iwconfig")
config_wlan0=("dhcp")
mode_wlan0=("managed")
essid_wlan0=("Roseland")
key_wlan0="s:2483984352 enc open" |
I am trying to connect WEP, but it worries me when it says WEP disabled. Kernel problem?
Thanks,
- Ehren
[UPDATE]: Apparently, now it only stays connected for 2 or 3 minutes. At one time, it was perfect. |

Why not write your own Init Script?
I wrote a similiar script but it seems it was missing an element.
Sure hope this does the trick.
| Code: | #!/sbin/runscript
# Copyright 1999-2004 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# Initiate built-in ethernet card on iBook
depend() {
need localmount
after bootmisc hostname
use isapnp isdn pcmcia usb wlan
}
start() {
ebegin "Starting eth0"
ifconfig eth0 up <YOUR IP>
route add -net <NETWORK IP>.0 netmask 255.255.254.0 dev eth0
route add default gw <GATEWAY IP>.1
}
stop() {
ebegin "Stopping eth0"
route del -net <NETWORK IP> netmask 255.255.254.0 dev eth0
route del default gw <GATEWAY>.1
ifconfig eth0 down

Tried that, and it works nicely. Mine's a little simpler that what you have, and it utilizes the local init script, but it messes with myth. I will try yours and let you know how it works out for me.
Thank you very much.

EDIT: Go everything up and running. Turns out it did not mess up myth, except that the wireless network doesn't load before myth so I get an error, which I can live with. Thanks a ton! |
