Does your router know this? I'm not being funny, but I had run into a problem |
| 29 |
sometime in the past where a change in the dhcpcd version caused the router to |
| 30 |
not read the NIC MAC address correctly. That created a clash with the IP |
| 31 |
address lease. |

OK, have you looked in your logs/dmesg? I think that the ndiswrapper has to |
| 39 |
load first and probe your NIC, before /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 launches. It may |
| 40 |
pay to keep an eye on the router logs while your machine boots. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
My line above with sleep_scan_wlan0="1" or say "3" seconds delay may help, if |
| 43 |
this is the problem. |

If you have not installed wpa_supplicant you don't need this. Just make sure |
| 54 |
#modules=( "wpa_supplicant" ) is commented out. iwconfig is the default |
| 55 |
anyway. ifconfig or iproute2 will work so I don't think that you need to |
| 56 |
define that either. Your entries: |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
essid_wlan0="digitaltorque" |
| 59 |
config_wlan0=( "192.168.0.5/24" ) |
| 60 |
routes_wlan0=( "default via 192.168.0.1" ) |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
are correct - so the error is not because of these. |

You could use the preup scripts in /etc/conf.d/net, if for some reason the |
| 67 |
ndiswrapper takes for ever to kick into action. |
