I'm trying to polish off a gentoo install on a COMPAQ R3000 with |
| 2 |
Broadcom 4306 wireless chips... |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
I can manually setup a solid 54M connection without much effort, but |
| 5 |
trying to get it done automatically is troublesome... |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I setup a softlevel named "wireless". I deleted the net.eth0 hardware |
| 8 |
connection and added net.eth1 in it's place. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
My /etc/conf.d/net looks like (wired config deleted): |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
# wireless |
| 13 |
# |
| 14 |
dns_domain_eth1=("my.domain") |
| 15 |
config_eth1=( "192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255" ) |
| 16 |
routes_eth1=( "default via 192.168.0.1" ) |
| 17 |
ap_eth1="any" |
| 18 |
essid_eth1="any" |
| 19 |
essid_eth1="wireless_at_mcbrides" |
| 20 |
preferred_aps=( "wireless_at_mcbrides") |
| 21 |
mode_eth1="managed" |
| 22 |
managed_essid_eth1="wireless_at_mcbrides" |
| 23 |
key_wireless_at_mcbrides="[1] ccf4c2305d0d99563a4eaa9597" |
| 24 |

|
| 30 |
rate_wireless_at_mcbrides=("54M") |
| 31 |
channel_eth1="11" |
| 32 |
dns_servers_eth1=("68.87.75.194" "68.87.64.146") |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
What fails to happen is... the device is not brought up automatically. |
| 36 |
That is, to get this to work, I have to manually "ifconfig eth1 up" |
| 37 |
then "/etc/init.d/net.eth1 start". After that, wireless connection is |
| 38 |
perfect. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
The problem I have is, how to get "ifconfig eth1 up" to run before the |
| 41 |
wireless stuff? |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Also, are the entries in /etc/conf.d/net order specific? To me it seems |
| 44 |
if things are ordered "just right" you either get support for various |
| 45 |
commands or you don't. Anyone see anything "killer" wrong in my net |
| 46 |
file? |
| 47 |

Thanks for your time... and for the flame bots out there... I've |
| 49 |
googled my self to death and have been through the gentoo.forums. My |
| 50 |
specific setup issues aren't addressed. |
