Maybe we should only use "ip link set up" for mac80211-drivers?
Hmm... I would not like to add driver dependencies to ifup-wireless if possible. The ath5k driver reports an error when the network starts: wlan0 device: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212/AR5213 Multiprotocol MAC/baseband processor (rev 01) wlan0 is controlled by ifplugd WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported waiting wlan0 device: Atheros Communications Inc.

But this is a problem with the driver, not with ifup-wireless. When I blacklist ath5k and install madwifi.org/suse/11.0 (rebuild) rpms, it works fine without any modifications to ifup-wireless: pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0 ath_hal: 0.9.18.0 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413) wlan: 0.9.4 ath_pci: 0.9.4 PCI: Enabling device 0000:02:00.0 (0000 -> 0002) ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 ath_rate_sample: 1.2 (0.9.4) wifi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps wifi0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps wifi0: turboG rates: 6Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps wifi0: H/W encryption support: WEP AES AES_CCM TKIP wifi0: mac 7.9 phy 4.5 radio 5.6 wifi0: Use hw queue 1 for WME_AC_BE traffic wifi0: Use hw queue 0 for WME_AC_BK traffic wifi0: Use hw queue 2 for WME_AC_VI traffic wifi0: Use hw queue 3 for WME_AC_VO traffic wifi0: Use hw queue 8 for CAB traffic wifi0: Use hw queue 9 for beacons wifi0: Atheros 5212: mem=0x54000000, irq=17 So I can only say WORKSFORME. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
