If you still have access to the necessary hardware, can you look how far I am from what is really happening? Hardware is not mine and already in production unfortunatly. But looking at the log again, I think you may be right, the driver only complains about microcode once upped by netcfg: Jul 21 02:40:45 kernel: [ 29.419310] iwl4965: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN Jul 21 02:40:45 kernel: [ 29.469768] iwl4965: Tunable channels: 11 802.11bg, 13 802.11a channels Jul 21 02:40:47 main-menu[1466]: INFO: Menu item 'netcfg' selected Jul 21 02:40:47 kernel: [ 30.851885] iwl4965: iwlwifi-4965-1.ucode firmware file req failed: Reason -2 Jul 21 02:40:47 kernel: [ 30.851892] iwl4965: Could not read microcode: -2 FWIW, this doesn't affect other wifi drivers that use firmware. At least, the one I can easily test, ipw2200, requests firmware immediatly on load. If something close happens, we probably need to find a way to up then down every interfaces in ethdetect, just to be sure that we have the necessary firmware. There's another way.. netcfg could run check-missing-firmware after it ups the interface (either after dhcp fails, or after static configuration). Or netcfg could bring interfaces up with a fake IP before trying dhcp at all, to avoid dhcp timeouts. But that may be overkill. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

It'll be a week or two until I can even boot a test image on it.
This patch will up and then down every interface. That seems safe enough
to do, especially since netcfg also ups and downs all interfaces when
doing link detection. It does mean that if the network is up, ethdetect
will take it down.

Use 'ls /sys/class/net/' instead?

That would probably be a good idea if someone wants to do it.. above
code was already in ethdetect and just factored out.

You change has not yet be committed though, so this could be taken along.
It would just be:
ls -1 /sys/class/net | grep -v ^lo$

Also, there's more /proc/net/dev parsing scattered throughout hw-detect, it should probably all be changed together. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

reassign 491712 ethdetect retitle 491712 firmware for iwl4965 is asked in disk-detect thanks On Mon, Jul 21, 2008 at 10:45:10AM -0400, Joey wrote: The wifi is iwl4965, and something didn't quite work in the firmware loading code. I had the firmware on the USB stick, attached, but was not prompted for it until after netcfg had run. (So the hw-detect run in disk-detect). I told it to install firmware, but did not see anything in /lib/firmware afterwards. Did see some codepage errors in the syslog. No error message displayed to me. Installed via ethernet. Wild guess after having a look at the log: is the firmware only requested when trying to brought the interface up? This would explain why the firmware is only asked during disk-detect: 1. ethdetect loads the iwl driver, 2. netcfg tries to up the interface, which fails as the firmware is missing, but iwl firmware is added to missing-firmware, 3. disk-detect runs and ask for the iwl firmware. If you still have access to the necessary hardware, can you look how far I am from what is really happening? If something close happens, we probably need to find a way to up then down every interfaces in ethdetect, just to be sure that we have the necessary firmware. Cheers, -- Jérémy Bobbio.''`.
