 |
|
When I start wpa_supplicant by hand it works.
But it doesn' get started on reboot. And dhcpcd also isn't run.
I guess there is some problem with script that starts it on reboot.
My /etc/conf.d/net file is here:
modules=( "ifconfig" "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dndiswrapper"
wpa_timeout_wlan0=60
config_wlan0=("dhcp") |

Maybe you should look for sth. like this : | Code: | tfoerste@n22 ~ $ grep RC_PLUG_SERVICES= /etc/conf.d/rc
# can set RC_COLDPLUG="yes" and RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!*"
# Example - RC_PLUG_SERVICES="net.wlan !net.*"
RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!*"

I've set RC_PLUG_SERVICES="net.wlan0" and wpa_supplicant still didn't start.
What's wrong? |

I would rather set it to "RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.wlan0" and would add /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 (symlink to net.lo) to your default level.
I had have similar (timing) problems with my integrated ethernet card b/c the initialization of the module(s) needed to much time during startup phase to complete before dhcp was started. |

What version kernel are you using?
Blessed be!

In your /etc/conf.d/net put something like this instead of what you have:
| Code: | config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
wpa_timeout_wlan0=15
|
Also, is ndiswrapper loading on boot? Check to see if you have added it to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
Finally if both those two are set, make sure that your wireless card is detected by typing 'iwconfig'. This should display wlan0 as a wireless interface. |
