Description Richard Torkar 2004-07-02 07:39:53 UTC 
Since I upgraded baselayout my wireless connection has stopped working.

When I start my laptop the following is shown in messages:

ipw2100: Associated with 'NETGEAR' at 11Mbps, channel 11
dhcpcd[8862]: dhcpStart: ioctl SIOCGIFHWADDR: No such device

iwconfig and ifconfig shows this when I have my system started:
tux ~# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eql       no wireless extensions.

tux ~# ifconfig

          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:78 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:4092 (3.9 Kb)  TX bytes:4092 (3.9 Kb) 



If I now do "dhcpcd -N eth0" in a terminal then the following happens:
tux ~# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr XY:XY:XY:XY:XY:XY
          inet addr:192.168.0.2  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:834 (834.0 b)  TX bytes:902 (902.0 b)
          Interrupt:5 Base address:0xf000 Memory:e0210000-e0210fff 


So clearly baselayout is broken w.r.t. wireless (ipw2100) + dhcpcd. Any ideas what I can do to fix this?

have you upgraded your /etc/conf.d/net file ? if so, what does it look like ?
Comment 2 Richard Torkar 2004-07-16 02:29:20 UTC 
I have the new net file with the additions of wireless-config stuff at the end.
Now my gentoo system seems b0rked anyway now so I won't be able to reproduce this anyway... I'm closing this bug.
