Netconfig under gentoo
Besides the wlanconfig ath0 to make the interface exist, i'm seeing a new problem where it seems like wlanconfig ath0 *, is returning before the interface is fully functional. I'll need to copy down the error next time. The sleep is a work around.
/etc/conf.d/net
preup() {
if [ "${IFACE}" = "ath0" ]; then
/usr/local/bin/wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
sleep 5
ifconfig ath0 up
sleep 5
return $?
fi
}
beaconing nonsense i'm seeing
This sorta fixes it so far, now i need to play .. which one fixed it! ;) madwifi-ng from svn, multiple versions
