** Summary changed: - hardy udev b43 wlan0_rename + hardy udev b43 wlan0_rename fix
** Description changed: 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. + 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...). + + The temporary solution is (again, published on bcm43xx mailing list): + 1. go to /etc/udev/rules.d + 2. sudo mcedit 70-persistent-net.rules + 3. comment out the line + # PCI device 0x14e4:0x4318 (bcm43xx) + # SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:0e:9b:bf:af:f4", NAME="eth1" <this line + + 4. save, exit back to terminal + 5. sudo rmmod b43 + 6. sudo modprobe b43 + 7. udev will add a line like this to the aforementioned file: + + # PCI device 0x14e4:0x4318 (b43-pci-bridge) + SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:0e:9b:bf:af:f4", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="wlan0" + + Now the Network Manager shows the wlan0 interface correctly as wireless + adaptor. + + Did this, works for me. -- hardy udev b43 wlan0_rename fix 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
