Using baselayout-1.11.13-r1, gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r9, wireless-tools-27-r1, acx100-0.2.0_pre8-r6 with a DWL-650+. When the laptop first loads (or unloading/reloading the wireless card), running the init script net.wlan0 fails as it is unable to connect to any access points (problem persists whether configured for 'any' or a specific access point). Running iwlist scan returns 'Resource Temporary Unavailable'. However, running 'ifconfig wlan0 up' from the command prompt, then running net.wlan0 performs as expected (obtains IP, able to access internet). Some users have been able to solve the problem by adding /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up in net.wlan0 without having a symlink from net.wlan0 to net.lo--but I was not able to solve my problem with this fix. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use acx100-0.2.0_pre8-r6, baselayout-1.11.13-r1, gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r9, wireless-tools-27-r1 and DWL-650+ (also DWL-550 and probably other acx100-based wirelss cards) 2. Set net.wlan0 to symlink to net.lo, and add net.wlan0 to default run level 3. Reboot machine Actual Results: No access point was found upon starting wlan0 Expected Results: Connect to access point and receive IP/internet access. Running 'ifconfig wlan0 up' manually before '/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start' solves the problem.
post your /etc/conf.d/net settings
My /etc/conf.d/net is empty (lines with eth0 are commented out), but grep -v '#' /etc/conf.d/wireless yields: essid_wlan0="MY_ESSID" key_MY_ESSID="s:MY_ESSID_KEY" I use DHCP, though trying a static IP does not change the fact that I have to run ifconfig wlan0 up before /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start.
UPSTREAM issue, please inform the acx100 developers about it
