Bugzilla Bug 130104

Ref : bug 129885.

I had just update to the bash-3.1_p16, but with ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant
was not able to get the wirless working, had a failure to power up the wireless
card (RT2500) within the messagse (ndiswrapper (iw_set_tx_power:421): setting
tx_power failed (C0010015)) 

So I have down graded back to bash-3.0-r12. If there is any advice ? I also do
have the baselayout-1.11.14-r7.

Thanks
Ian
P.S. This is my first bug report, so if I have done anything wrong please say

how exactly are you trying to use ndiswrapper/wpa_supplicant ?  are you using
/etc/init.d/net.* scripts ?  or are you running commands yourself (and if so,
what are the commands) ?

Same problem here, using ipw2200 wpa_supplicant
net.eth1 linked to net.lo script :-)
It seems what it enters some kind of cicle, because i see sleep1 then other
comands then sleep1 using ps.

what versions of wpa_supplicant and ndiswrapper ?

These are the versions of the programs below, and I am running the
/etc/init.d/net* scripts

baselayout - wpa_supplicant - bash-3.1 patch

Please test this patch

Applied the patch, but still the same error, ndiswrapper (iw_set_tx_power:421):
setting tx_power failed (C0010015), so I have unapplied the patch and gone back
to bash-3.0-r12

For me, worked fine with this patch:

Simple modification to the first patch

with original patch gave me this error:
Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory

Created an attachment (id=84783) [details]
Simple modification to the first patch 2 - sorry

the first one worked too, but wasnt the patch i wanted to send :)
sorry guys, its my first time

so does the last patch work for everyone ?

*** Bug 130106 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Yep, works for me as well... cheers.

(In reply to comment #10)
> so does the last patch work for everyone ?

I confirm I had the bug (with ipw2100 and not ndiswrapper), and that the last
patch worked as a charm !

Thanks for the help and fixing the bug.

Please don't close a bug as FIXED until the Gentoo developers have committed
the patch.

baselayout-1.11.14-r8 now in portage with patch, thanks all
