Ok, today I found the time to take a closer look at the problem at Lars' hardware (thanks for the coffee, Lars :-)). JFTR: ipw3945 definitely has some race condition problems. To fix this problem on your Debian/grml system just take a look at my howto: ################################################################################ We want to avoid autoloading of the ipw3945 module at boottime, so we blacklist the module: # cat /etc/modprobe.d/grml blacklist ipw3945 Now create a new initscript which loads the driver: # cat /etc/init.d/ipwfix #!/bin/sh grep -q ipw3945 /proc/modules && rmmod ipw3945 modprobe ipw3945 Then make sure the initscript is used before /etc/init.d/networking is running: # update-rc.d ipwfix start 34 S . Notice a problem with /etc/resolv.conf? I couldn't debug it in detail due to lack of time but the problem definitely goes away if you do not use the package resolvconf, so just run: # apt-get --purge remove resolvconf We want to have persistent interface names so we bind ipw3945 to interface name wlan0 via udev (see 'grml-tips udev' for details): # INTERFACE=wlan0 /lib/udev/write_net_rules 00:13:02:aa:bb:cc Finally configure your WLAN device as usual via /etc/network/interface (and make sure you have CONFIG_DHCP=no in /etc/grml/autoconfig on your grml-system), for example it might look like the following for a WPA setup: # cat /etc/network/interfaces auto lo wlan0 iface lo inet loopback iface wlan0 inet dhcp wireless-mode Managed wireless-essid secret pre-up wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B down killall wpa_supplicant ################################################################################ regards, -mika- -- You like grml?
