Package: linux-wlan-ng Version: 0.2.8+svn1851+dfsg-2 Severity: normal
This is testing from Debian svn 172 (not released). First I removed and purged all old packages. I could then install linux-wlan-ng-source, mod-ass-build the module package and install. Rebooted and things worked fine (although depmod -a must be run manually). Then I wanted to test firmware loading so I installed linux-wlan-ng and -firmware and build the firmware-files package and installed it. The firmware loading fails because when /etc/wlan/wlan-udev.sh is run, the wlan0 interface is not available for wlanctl-ng: wlanctl-ng: No such device wlanctl-ng: No such device prism2dl: No such device Running it manually later works fine. I inserted a "sleep 2" on the top of wlan-udev.sh and then it works fine. It can seem like the udev rule 84-linux-wlan-ng runs the wlan-udev.sh script "too early". I also stopped network-manager to verify that it was not to blame. However, if I echo 0 > /sys/module/p80211/parameters/wlan_wext_write, the firmware loading works. So this problem might be related to the new auto-enabling in the driver. FWIW, there are some hfa384x messages, mostly coinciding with the firmware loading: $ grep hfa /var/log/syslog Feb 13 23:26:34 viki kernel: hfa384x_usbin_ctlx: Expected IN[3], received IN[1] - ignored. Feb 14 00:16:27 viki kernel: hfa384x_usbin_ctlx: Expected IN[1], received IN[3] - ignored.

For the moment I'd recommend adding a "sleep 2" (or "sleep 3" to be sure) to wlan-udev.sh as a workaround. I also tried "sleep 1" but that didn't help. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-486 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages linux-wlan-ng depends on: ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii udev 0.114-2 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii wireless-tools 29-1 Tools for manipulating Linux Wirel Versions of packages linux-wlan-ng recommends: pn linux-wlan-ng-doc <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
