I wouldn't expect anything different.
<udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/wlan0> returns "device node not
found." Same for wlan1.
Same as above, /dev entries do not exist for network interfaces.
I didn't know that. Thanks.
<more snipping>
<dmesg> and <lsmod> tell me that everything is recognized, it seems
that the devices are not being created. Below is info from <udevadm
info --attribute-walk --name=/sys/class/net/wlan{0,1} and the rule for
each from 70-persistent-net-rules.
udevadm info for wlan0:
<snip>
I need to mention that in /sys/bus/pci there is another name--phy0.
It's the parent of wlan0. The rules got generated by <udevadm test>.
Can anyone see anything that I'm missing. At this point is has to be
something really simple and I can't see the tree because of the
forrest. Just a thought. Although the udev system is much more
complicated now than when I did my last LFS build, I know that I can
change the ATTRIBUTE(s) of a device. (I'll have to read up on it to
refresh my memory.) Is something like that necessary here.
I'll appreciate any advice, thoughts or "try this."
Out of curiosity, do you have the wireless tools installed and are you
connecting your wireless card to a network? You say that your wireless
isn't working, yet clearly wlan0 and wlan1 are present and you havn't
posted any examples on actually connecting to a network.
I was trying with just the things installed in the basic system. I'm not
on a network, but just want to connect to the internet, using my laptop,
through the router on my PC. I now have wireless tools installed and
have remembered that I've never configured a card or usb device--just
pcmcia cards--and I'm confusing some of the commands from the pcmcia
wrapper that I used to use.
Right now I'm caught in the "Twilight Zone" of CLFS and host system.
Can't check the things I want to in chroot environment. With <iwconfig
wlan0 essid any> I got no messages so I assume OK. However, with
<iwconfig wlan0 mode 'Ad Hoc'> I got the message that it didn't work
because the device was in use or busy. I couldn't ping my DNS server and
dhcpcd failed when I tried to restart the network. However when I ran
<iwlist wlan0 scan> I got all information I ever wanted to know about my
router. Something's working. I just can't figure out how to use it.
I'm out of my CLFS system right now, but I think I can pass ESSID and
MODE in the udev rule.
Thanks for you help so far. I can't find my book "Linux Unwired," so any
further hints would be great.
Just food for
thought, but you can use wpa_supplicant to manage connections to wep/wpa
networks.
I've never used this one. Maybe a try is in order.
Thanks.
Dan
