Gang, I'm attempting to work with a wireless NIC in busybox and
before I started to dive into the wireless tools for Linux (e.g.
iwconfig), I noticed that my USB wireless NIC isn't being shown in
the ifconfig output. I wasn't expecting it to have an IP address or
any configuration settings, but I would have thought that it would
have been picked up and displayed just as the integrated wired NIC
has been. I'm assuming it's not getting a driver loaded. I know it
works because I can use it in Kubuntu. Does anyone know or can they
point me in the direction of at least getting this device to show up
in the ifconfig output?
Is the driver loaded? Is the device listed with 'ip l' ?
Plain ifconfig only show devices that have addresses (as opposed to
ifconfig -a).
After continued research, it appears as though I was trying to load the
wrong driver. Once I get that step resolved, I'll post a follow-up.
Thanks for the assistance though. :)
Dave
