GNU/Linux

At boot time, I see several error messages about wlan (b43) (below)

wlan0 does not come up.  ifup wlan0 fails.

# locate b43.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/updates/drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43.ko

The second one corresponds to the driver built from
   compat-drivers-3.7.6-1

After boot, I log in and

# modprobe -r b43
# modprobe b43
# ifup wlan0

and wlan0 works!

It appears I have some disagreement between the compat-drivers-3.7.6-1
driver and the kernel.  I have the correct headers (see below)

Just to be sure, I did a make uninstall, deleted the
compat-drivers-3.7.6-1 directory, downloaded the tar.bz2 again, and
repeated the build/install process.  Same results.

In the build process, there was one warning about initialization
removing qualifiers on a variable...

Any ideas?

After more investigation, it appears that some time is needed between loading the driver and ifup.

# ifdown wlan0 && modprobe -v -r b43 && modprobe -v b43 && ifup wlan0

fails.

# ifdown wlan0 && modprobe -v -r b43 && modprobe -v b43 && sleep 1 && ifup wlan0

works.
