devd wlan wpa
Hello :-)
I want to setup wpa_supplicant to start after wlan0 interface gets up.
The rc.conf ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" does the job only at boot. When
I get the interface down I need to start everything by hand, which is
a bit annoying when I test a lot and need to switch between Ethernet
and WiFi interfaces very often. I have tried to write devd rule:
notify 0 {
match "system" "IFNET";
match "subsystem" "wlan[0-9]+";
match "type""LINK_UP";
media-type "802.11";
match "device-name" "wlan[0-9]+";
action "/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -i $device-name -c
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B";
};
But there goes the chicken-egg problem - I want to run wpa_supplicant
on LINK_UP event that occurs when Media Status is "connected", but to
get that "connected" status I need to run wpa_supplicant first, so
capabilities of devd are not enough in this case, or I miss something?
Is there any distinction between LINK_UP and IF_UP?
Any hints appreciated :-)

Hi,
There is this entry for the network aggregation in the Handbook
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-aggregation.html
You will be able to switch from wired to wifi card (and vice versa).
Regards,
Alexandre

This is not exactly what I am looking for as I would like to have wpa running after interface is up, but I will use provided solution in another place, thank you again :-) Best regards :-) Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
