ifup script on SuSE 9.1 Pro
I'm trying to set up my SuSE 9.1 box as an open Access Point with HostAP. Its all configured to load up the HostAP modules & they seem to be working just fine but the ifup script doesnt seem to be working for the interface. The interface doesnt start up on boot either. The card is a D-Link DWL-520. When I do a 'ifup wlan0' i get the following output: # ifup wlan0 wlan0 ERROR: No configuration found for wlan0 yet in my /etc/sysconfig/network directory there's a config file for my wireless card. (ifcfg-wlan-bus-pci-0000:01:07.0). Here's its contents: BOOTPROTO='static' BROADCAST='10.6.0.255' IPADDR='10.6.0.1' MTU='' NETMASK='255.255.255.0' NETWORK='10.6.0.0' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='onboot' UNIQUE='2_DJ.nKQKZ9PaRIC' WIRELESS_AP='' WIRELESS_AUTH_MODE='open' WIRELESS_BITRATE='auto' WIRELESS_CHANNEL='3' WIRELESS_DEFAULT_KEY='0' WIRELESS_ESSID='UseButDontAbuse' WIRELESS_KEY='' WIRELESS_KEY_0='' WIRELESS_KEY_1='' WIRELESS_KEY_2='' WIRELESS_KEY_3='' WIRELESS_KEY_LENGTH='128' WIRELESS_MODE='Master' WIRELESS_NICK='' WIRELESS_NWID='' WIRELESS_POWER='no' _nm_name='bus-pci-0000:01:07.0' WIRELESS_FREQUENCY=' Also, here's the output of iwconfig: # iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"UseButDontAbuse" Mode:Master Frequency:2.422GHz Access Point: 00:05:5D:F9:C6:83 Bit Rate:11Mb/s Sensitivity=1/3 Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 wlan0ap IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"UseButDontAbuse" Mode:Master Frequency:2.422GHz Access Point: 00:05:5D:F9:C6:83 Bit Rate:11Mb/s Sensitivity=1/3 Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off wlan0sta IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"UseButDontAbuse" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.422GHz Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00 Bit Rate:11Mb/s Sensitivity=1/3 Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Am I missing something or is the ifup script not working right, and how can I get it working?

Edit /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-bus-pci-0000:01:07.0 to look like this:: MODULE='hostap_pci' MODULE_OPTIONS='' STARTMODE='auto' Change MODULE and/or MODULE_OPTIONS if necessary. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This e-mail is CONFIDENTIAL and contains information intended only for the person(s) named.
