I emerged linux-wlan-ng 0.1.16_pre6 and the init script it installs at /etc/init.d/wlan is the RedHat style init script that comes with the linux-wlan-ng source. This means that it won't play well with the Gentoo rc system and makes it so my net.wlan0 script won't load properly at boot. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge linux-wlan-ng 2. make a proper net.wlan0 and add it to the default runlevel 3. add wlan to the default runlevel as well 4. reboot Actual Results: /etc/init.d/wlan was executed after all other init scripts including net.wlan0 which would have depended on it. Expected Results: /etc/init.d/wlan should be a Gentoo-style init script that has a depends() function and that scripts such as net.wlan0 can NEED in their own depends() function. All of the other packages I've installed do this, I was truly surprised that linux-wlan-ng didn't. I've already made a Gentoo-style init script (just ported the one that was there), and you can see it on the forums at: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=40531
I ran into the same trouble with linux-wlan-ng 0.1.16_pre6. Samuel's script was very helpful. I would really appreciate if someone can fix this.
done. please test linux-wlan-ng-0.2.0-r2 or 0.2.1_pre1. Will hopefully use linux-wlan-ng-0.2.0-r2 for 1.4 final release
I update to linux-wlan-ng-0.2.0-r2 today. I replaced my old scripts with the new ones by etc-update. Everything went smooth. This issue seems fixed to me, thanks.
No further comments in ages. marking resolved.
