It has been so very, very long since I have worked with the
bootscripts. I have just forgotten. Please pardon this really basic
question.
If I want to bring up my wireless card, will <ifup wifi0> work
backwards, using the service scripts in /etc/sysconfig, or do I need to
run 'ifup' twice? <ifup wlan0 && ifup wifi0>
I have all the correct files installed for wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd and
wlan0. I reviewed 'ifup' and the only variable it works with is ${1},
and in this case it was wifi0. I got the messages that dhcpcd and
wpa_supplicant had started on wlan0, but when I tried to ping my router
I got the message "NETWORK NOT AVAILABLE."
I probably needed to say that I'm doing this from chroot environment. I
disconnected from my router and turned off the card in Ubuntu. Then I
ran the 'ifup' command in chroot. In 'dmesg' I saw that the kernel was
trying to associate, but there was no message that wlan0 was ready. I'm
thinking that I didn't trigger the udevd event that I thought I would.
I thought that in one of my previous LFS builds, I had used my network
in the chroot environment. I remember using wget and lynx from a
terminal, but I just can't remember if it was in chroot or after I
booted into the LFS system.
I know I'm missing something pretty simple, but I just can't dredge it up.
Thanks.
Dan
