Programmer 2009-11-01 01:23:15 MST --- While checking /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-wireless I find if [ "$WIRELESS_AP_SCANMODE" = "2" ]; then . . checking /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth1 reveals that there is no such variable. Adding WIRELESS_AP_SCANMODE='2' solves the issue. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Mode 0 means the driver # performs the scan. Mode 1 means wpa_supplicant takes care of scanning. Mode # 2 is basically the same as mode 0 but the access point gets chosen by # security policy and SSID. This mode does not support multiple network # settings. Default is "1" for most drivers. Try "0" or "2" if you have # problems associating to your access point. This variable can have no # suffix. This is only used in conjuntion with wpa_supplicant. WIRELESS_AP_SCANMODE='' scripts/ifup-wireless AFAIS applies it -- and it seems to work: Comment 5 says, that the problem is solved with WIRELESS_AP_SCANMODE='2' set in the ifcfg file. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
