Public bug reported: Binary package hint: udev
Current Hardy 8.04 latest beta (done yesterday a dist upgrade from Gutsy) When I managed to get the b43 kernel driver to work, as in this solution: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/b43-fwcutter/+bug/202567 I noticed that udev creates the wlan0_rename interface; The fix, according to Larry Finger on bcm43xx-dev mailing list is : ---- It is a mac80211-introduced "problem". With bcm43xx-softmac, there is only a single device presented, and one does not care what type it is when it is renamed. With mac80211 (used by b43), at least two devices are available, wmaster0 with type==0x801, and wlan0 with type==1. Without the ATTRS{type==1} clause, wmaster=>eth1 and wlan0=>wlan0_rename. With the clause, only wlan0 is subject to renaming and all works OK. ---- So far the situation is that Network Manager Applet displays 2 different interfaces for the wi-fi card : one is eth1 (and both are shown as WIRED apparently...). I haven't tried the quoted fix, but it is the word of one of the creators of the driver, please consider. ** Affects: udev (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- hardy udev b43 wlan0_rename https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202575 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
