by following the how to in http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Wireless/Access_point i end up with /etc/conf.d/net.wlan0: # You can also specify which modules not to use - for example you may be # using a supplicant or linux-wlan-ng to control wireless configuration but # you still want to configure network settings per SSID associated with. #modules="!iwconfig !wpa_supplicant" # IMPORTANT: If you need the above, please disable modules in that order modules_wlan0="!iwconfig !wpa_supplicant" config_wlan0="null" rc_net_wlan0_need="net.br0" it used to work fine, but not since i upgrade to openrc 0.11.2 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: # /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart Actual Results: * Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ] * Bringing up interface wlan0 * Waiting for carrier (5 seconds) ..... [ !! ] * no carrier * ERROR: net.wlan0 failed to start Expected Results: no error
What happens if you add: carrier_timeout_wlan0="0" to your /etc/conf.d/net file?
Actually scratch that, what if you just add: carrier_timeout="0"
it works with carrier_timeout="0" btw, example at http://roy.marples.name/projects/openrc/wiki/OpenRCConfig is wrong. rc_need_wlan0="hostapd", and hostapd need wlan0 because wlan0 is configured as INTERFACES in /etc/conf.d/hostapd. circular dependency again # /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart * hostapd: waiting for net.wlan0 (50 seconds) ('waiting' is a sign of circular dependency) and i can't tell anything wrong with http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Wireless/Access_point. but the way i do is: rc_net_wlan0_need="net.br0" in /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 and bridge=br0 in /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
more information: i remove all slaves in /etc/conf.d/net.bond0 without carrier_timeout="0": # /etc/init.d/net.bond0 restart * Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ] * Bringing down interface bond0 * Running predown ... * Bringing up interface bond0 * Waiting for carrier (5 seconds) ..... [ !! ] * no carrier with carrier_timeout="0": # /etc/init.d/net.bond0 restart * Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ] * Bringing down interface bond0 * Running predown ... * Bringing up interface bond0 * 192.168.8.1/15 ... [ ok ] * Running postup ... looks like a bug relative to "Waiting for carrier" itself, not just wlan

I will be duping this bug to another bug shortly, and the next release will have carrier_timeout set to 0 by default which means don't look for a carrier.
