Hello,
I was having problems with WISP-dist (beta 2320) of not
being able to save the wireless configuration. I made
changes, and it showed up in the /etc/network/wireless.config.
But upon start-up, it would always show the default wireless
configuration.
Anyway, I patch the file, /etc/init.d/networking as follow:
--- networking.orig Sat Sep 7 16:55:47 2002
+++ networking Sat Sep 7 15:42:47 2002
@@ -78,6 +78,12 @@
echo -n "Configuring fixed wireless interfaces: "
for IFACE in `cat /proc/net/dev | sed 's/.*|.*//' | sed 's/:.*//'` ; do
+ # Get device attributes
+ HWADDR=`/sbin/ip addr show $IFACE 2>/dev/null | sed -ne
+'s/.*\(..:..:..:..:..:..\) brd.*/\1/p'`
+
+ ADDRESS="0,0,0,$HWADDR"
+ export ADDRESS
+
/etc/network/wireless-start --norename $IFACE
done
echo "done."
It gets the wireless-start script to work correctly with the
configuration for PLX and possible PCI Prism2-based 802.11b
cards.
Thanks.
Bao
