[Bug 242285] New: Wireless Networking & Shutdown
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=242285 Summary: Wireless Networking & Shutdown Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Usability AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: johnpflager@hotmail.com QAContact: siegfried.olschner@novell.com After moving from 10.1 to 10.2 on my Fujitsu laptop the wireless networking improved but I'm still having a problem with "ifup" and shutting down the laptop. I've configured wlan0 in YAST to start on hotplug with encryption enabled. The system boots correctly and picks up on my wireless network. The problem is when I shutdown it cannot bring wlan0 down. Error message is that it's trying to kill a service. In my troubleshooting I tried to configure wireless manually. With user controlled in YAST shutdown process is fine. The next step I tried was to shut down the wlan0 interface manually with "ifconfig wlan0 down" prior to shutting down. This resulted in my console getting hung which could only be corrected by powering off the laptop. Any help with this issue would be appreciated. If further information is required please let me know. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=242285 ------- Comment #2 from johnpflager@hotmail.com 2007-02-08 12:56 MST ------- After troubleshooting this problem it turns out I have two wireless interfaces. I'm not sure why but there is wifi0 and wlan0. Wlan0 is the correct interface and works properly. This said, I did a "ifconfig wifi0 down" prior to shutting down the system and it didn't hang. So I'm not sure if I need the wifi0 interface but I will next try to shut it down and see if wlan0 continues to work properly. If it does I'm guessing that if remove the interface completely my problem will be resolved. I've attached a doc with the info you've asked for, the only thing is that I was not on my wireless network at the time so it's not connected. Either way here is the information you asked for, any advice is welcome!!!

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=242285 ------- Comment #4 from jg@novell.com 2007-02-09 10:19 MST ------- wifi0 is an interface only used internally, you should not touch it at all. Could you attach /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan-* from your system (you can disguise any information not intended for public in it like WEP keys, of course)? Maybe I can reproduce the problem here with your configuration. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

To work around I've tried to place this command in the halt.local file, which is supposed to run a command prior to shutdown. Unfortunately this did not work for me. If you're not able to re-create the problem then maybe you can tell me a workaround for the problem I'm having? Thanks for your help.

I have a Linksys WPC111v3 card here (Prism2), and it works as intended. Could you attach /var/log/messages? Maybe some error message made it into the log before the crash. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
