Hello, I'm trying to configure my wireless NIC using /etc/network/interfaces and have a couple of questions.
I've added the wireless stanzas to the interfaces file with the "wireless_essid" and "wireless_key" options to set my ESSID and encryption key. I get the following errors on boot: Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) : SET failed on device eth1 ; No such device. run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools exited with return code 251 eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device I'm using kernel modules for my wireless card and I've added them into /etc/modules so that they are loaded prior to the /etc/init.d/networking script running. Why am I getting these errors? Once the system is booted I can do "ifdown eth1" followed by "ifup eth1" and the card gets configured properly. Also I was wondering if there is a way to configure the card for multiple sites with different encryption keys? I can do this all with shell scripts but would prefer to use the "Debian way". Thanks, Keith. ************************************************************************* The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
