Re: networking question : wpa_supplicant, ifplugd and interfaces -- solved

Hi, Thanks to all your replies. Here is what the problem turned out to be and how I solved. The problem was that the kernel hotplug dispatcher loads ipw3945 too early and without invoking modprobe. To fix it a file - /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/ipw3945 needs to be created with the sole content bei

Hi, The wait options -w is in /etc/init.d/wparoamd. This file is almost the same as the example file supplied with wpasupplicant, with the exception of local configuration mentioned in a previous mail. regards b thomas On Tue, May 16, 2006 at 05:08:34PM +0200, Alexandre Rossi wrote: > Did you tr

Re: networking question : wpa_supplicant, ifplugd and interfaces

Hi, Thanks once again for all your help. I did remove the auto line from /etc/networking/interfaces It did speed up the boot process, by cutting the time spent on dhcp discover. However very early in the boot process kernel module ipw3945 does still get loaded but the binary daemon does not get

networking question : wpa_supplicant, ifplugd and interfaces

Hi, I am trying to configure /etc/networking/interfaces, ifplugd and wpa_supplicant so that my laptop automatically configures networking whenever an interface becomes available. The state of things so far is as follows : If I connect to ethernet ifplugd configures my network correctly. However t
