Compared with the discussion about efi-booting, which I follow with interest
and admiration, I am still in the stone-age. I installed LFS 7.4 on an old
laptop. It boots fine, but I cannot connect wireless to my network.
Wired is no problem (although I cannot find the eth0-device anywhere; how does
this work?).
The laptop uses a Cisco-Linksys wireless usb-adapter. Running udevadm monitor
and inserting the adapter gives device-information that I put in a rule into
70-persistent-netrules with the name wlan0:
SUBSYSTEM="usb", ACTION=="add", ATTR{idVendor}=="13b1",
ATTR{manufacturer}="Cisco-Linksys" , ATTR{idProduct}=="0020", NAME="wlan0"
I added ifconfig.wlan0 to /etc/sysconfig:
ONBOOT=yes
IFACE=wlan0
SERVICE=ipv4-static
IP=192.168.178.26
GATEWAY=192.168.178.0
PREFIX=24
BROADCAST=192.168.178.255
WIRELESS_DEV=wlan0
#SERVICE=dhcpcd
In the kernel I have a line "CONFIG_WIRELESS=y" (but CONFIG_IPWIRELESS is not
set !?). But on booting I get the errors:
- cannot find device wlan0
- interface wlan0 does not exist.
Puppy Linux and Mint-13 on the same laptop have no problem finding wireless my
Fritz!Box-modem.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Hans.
