Description J Sacksteder 2004-09-22 08:18:53 UTC
Create net.wlan0 script to go along with net.eth0 and net.lo in default baselayout package.

At the top, add the following 

depend() {
         need wlan
}

to ensure that rc-update starts the scripts in the correct order. If this does not appear in the stock package, the interface does not initalize properly.

Reproducible: Always

We now have wireless support in baselayout-1.11.5

Or are you talking about something else?
Comment 2 J Sacksteder 2004-11-04 10:15:34 UTC
That rev of baselayout still does not include a net.wlan0 in it.

I thought my description was pretty clear. If the only network card in the system is wireless ethernet, wlan0 will not come up properly unless init.d/wlan runs first.

Fixed dependancy in CVS

This will be in baselayout-1.11.6 - you'll have to create the a link from net.lo to net.wlan0 yourself though

Fixed in baselayout-1.11.6
