Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.8+nmu1
I followed the procedure outlined in
/usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz "3. Mode #2: Roaming Mode"
which I assume most people with laptops would want to use, which gives
me the following /etc/network/interfaces stanza for the wireless device:
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-driver wext
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp
iface wwf inet dhcp
iface wird inet dhcp
iface wgguest inet dhcp
When I run the command "ifup wlan0" or "ifdown wlan0" nothing at all happens.
ifconfig does not show the interface listed. I am not sure how I am supposed
to operate the wireless card. It would be helpful if there were a debconf
script or something that could set up wireless cards for people and some
document which better explains how to set up a wireless card to be able to
handle roaming and work with wpa_supplicant.
ifup and ifdown do not even output anything to /var/log/syslog when they are
invoked, and there seems to be no other log what could be used to figure out
what is going on.
