If I understand you correctly, you won't find the entry you're looking for. |
| 10 |
You need to create a link with the name of your usb card interface. |
| 11 |
ifconfig -a will show you what the new network card is recognised as and then |
| 12 |
you have to link it to /etc/init.d/net.lo. For example, if ifconfig shows |
| 13 |
you a new interface called wlan0 then you need to run something like this: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
# cd /etc/init.d |
| 16 |
# ln -s net.lo net.wlan0 |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Then, set something like RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="no" in your /etc/conf.d/rc |
| 19 |
and all the right things should happen when you boot up. |

Sorry, not adequately clued up on this, to offer any reliable advice. I know |
| 27 |
that the wpa_supplicant requires the iface to stay up, something which may |
| 28 |
not happen if dhcpcd goes down and takes the iface with it. You may want to |
| 29 |
try adding an option like dhcpcd_wlan0="-o" in your /etc/conf.d/net to see if |
| 30 |
it makes any difference. Someone more knowledgeable in network matters ought |
| 31 |
to advise here. |
