Bug 300154 – sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.13: should start eth0 even if wlan0 is wrongly configured

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Toralf Förster 2010-01-08 12:00:08 UTC]

having unmerged wpa_supplicant and restarted net.eth0 gaves an error due to missing  files. However this should not prevent the network scritps to start the ethernet. Here's the relevant section of /etc/conf.d/net :

#       WLAN
#           
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_eth0="-Dmadwifi"
preferred_aps=( "<my company>" )         

config_wlan0=("dhcp" )
dhcp_wlan0="nontp"    
dhcpcd_wlan0="-L -t 16 -h <hostname>"


Reproducible: Always

did you set RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING ?

at any rate, we're probably not going to do anything with this in baselayout-1

tfoerste@n22 ~ $ grep ^RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING /etc/conf.d/rc
RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="no"

I am closing this per comment #1.  Please upgrade to baselayout-2 and openrc, then re-open this bug if the issue exists there.

Thanks,

William

well, does this mean, that -2 will become stable soon ?
