1 Hi,
2
3 I had ethernet (eth0) and wireless (wlan0) working well before I run an
4 emerge world (which updated baselayout)
5 At that time I also had eth1, which I don't know why, and the normal lo.
6 After the emerge, my wlan0 was gone. I still have the init script (not sure
7 if is a new one, or was overwritten), that gives the following errors:
8
9 # /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
10 SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
11 wlan0: unknown interface: No such device
12 SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
13 wlan0: unknown interface: No such device
14 SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
15
16 The ifconfig command presents this:
17 # ifconfig -a

54 Now I have a new sit0... again, no idea why!!
55 So what I would need is to know how to get back wlan0 and get rid of eth1
56 and wlan0.

58 Sorry for presenting so simple problem...
59 thanks in advance
60 Fernando.
