Hi, |
| 2 |
I've a problem configuring my wireless interface. I usually connect to two |
| 3 |
access points. One located at my home and another one at my work. The problem |
| 4 |
is that I should change my /etc/conf.d/net every time to connect the |
| 5 |
them. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
here is my config: |
| 8 |
--------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 9 |
preup() { |
| 10 |
if [[ ${IFACE} == "eth1" ]]; then |
| 11 |
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 up |
| 12 |
echo 0\ |
| 13 |
> /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:06:00.0/rf_kill |
| 14 |
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 txpower on |
| 15 |
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 up |
| 16 |
sleep 3 |
| 17 |
fi |
| 18 |
return 0 |
| 19 |
} |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
modules=("iwconfig" ) |
| 22 |
#essid_eth1="any" |
| 23 |
essid_eth1="Home_ali" |
| 24 |
preferred_aps_wlan1=( "Home_ali" "P-P" ) |
| 25 |
associate_order="preferredonly" |
| 26 |
key_Home_ali="s:KeyKeyKey" |
| 27 |
config_Home_ali=( "dhcp" ) |
| 28 |
config_P_P=( "192.168.2.6 netmask 255.255.240.0" ) |
| 29 |
routes_P_P=( "default via 192.168.1.10" ) |
| 30 |
dns_servers_P_P=( "127.0.0.1 4.2.2.4" ) |
| 31 |
-------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
When I set essid_eth1 to "any", It can not detect the ESSID automatically and |
| 34 |
connect to it, and I should edit the config file manually, and the strange |
| 35 |
thing is when I specifically set my essid in the config it can successfully |
| 36 |
connect to any of them. and I can manually scan the access points by iwlist: |
| 37 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 38 |
localhost ISP # iwconfig eth1 txpower on |
| 39 |
localhost ISP # iwlist eth1 scan |
| 40 |
eth1 Scan completed : |
| 41 |

------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 53 |
here is the error, when I start the interface by init.d script: |
| 54 |
------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 55 |
localhost ~ # /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start |
| 56 |
* Service net.eth1 starting |
| 57 |

[ !! ] |
| 61 |
* ERROR: net.eth1 failed to start |
| 62 |
----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
here is what I get from dmesg: |
| 65 |
------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 66 |
ipw3945: Detected geography ABG (11 802.11bg channels, 13 802.11a channels) |

| 68 |

Does anyone have any clue about this? I'm using the latest driver form: |
