--- Begin Message ---Package: wireless-tools Version: 24-1 Severity: normal I am worming on packaging wlan-ng for debian, and have decided to make it support bringing up the wireless interfaces with ifup. Moreover, I have made it support, whever possible, the same fields and values in /etc/network/interfaces as are used by the wireless-tools package. I think this is good because it will lessen the learning curve, and also bebause it allows the possibility of using the same stanza in network/interfaces for a pcmcia card that is driven by wlan-ng, and another wireless card driven by the orinoco driver or something, even though the underlying configuration is much different. But, there's a problem. If I put stuff like wireless_* in the interfaces file, the wireless-tools if-pre-up.d script wakes up and tries to iwconfig the interface, which just doesn't work for wlan-ng interfaces. run-parts /etc/network/if-pre-up.d Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such device. run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools exited with return code 251 IBSS not started, resultcode=invalid_parameters run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wlan exited with return code 1 This is actually only cosmetic, but it is rather ugly.. Hmm, I think this same problem would result if I had a interfaces stanza for my pcmcia card, eth1, and the stanza had wireless_* in it, and I stuck in a regular ethernet card. So this is a more general problem.. I think that your script needs to somehow determine if the interface supports wireless, and moreover, see if it is a wvlan-ng interface or not. For the former, grepping for "no wireless extentions" in ifconfig $IFACE would do, but wlan-ng does provide wireless information, so that is not good enough. I next thought of iwspy, but while wvlan-ng does not provide the interface used by iwspy, neither does the polhdu driver, which can be configured with iwconfig. I finally hit upon iwpriv. For non-wireless devices, of course, it outputs "no private ioctls", and for wlan-ng, it outputs: wlan0 Available private ioctl : DUMMY;-) (8B0D) : set 0 & get 0 So, I suggest this patch: --- wireless-tools~ Fri Jul 26 02:43:31 2002 +++ wireless-tools Fri Jul 26 02:43:42 2002 @@ -82,7 +82,8 @@ ARGS="$ARGS commit" fi -if [ -n "$ARGS" ] +if [ -n "$ARGS" ] && + ! iwpriv $IFACE 2>&1 | egrep -q '(no private ioctls|DUMMY)' then eval $IWCONFIG $IFACE $ARGS fi I guess an easier approach would be to bail if IFACE=wlan*, but I remember old versions of the orinoco driver created a wlan0 interface.. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux dragon 2.4.18 #1 Thu Jul 25 18:10:57 EDT 2002 i586 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages wireless-tools depends on: ii libc6 2.2.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an
