Description A. Person 2005-03-31 14:52:02 UTC 
My hardened-sources-2.6.11 kernel always returns this when trying to '/etc/init.d/net.ath0 start':

 * Starting ath0
 *    Bringing up ath0
 *       Configuration not set for ath0 - assuming dhcp
 *       dhcp
 *          ath0 does not exist   [ !! ]

It used to work in 2.6.7 before I unmerged it trying to narrow down this problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1./etc/init.d/net.ath0 start
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
 *    Bringing up ath0
 *       Configuration not set for ath0 - assuming dhcp
 *       dhcp
 *          ath0 does not exist   [ !! ]

Expected Results:  
ath0 network connection

Whoops, I somehow didn't have any kind of PCMCIA support compiled into that kernel.  Sorry about that.

Now I'm stuck at the same place I was with 2.6.7.  Trying to start net.ath0 always times out.  Running wpa_supplicant manually tell me "No suitable AP found."  I've tried all kinds of stuff with help from the forums.  Should I open a new bug?
Comment 2 Roy Marples (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-02 02:17:22 UTC 
I'm closig this is it's no longer valid - open a new bug for the wpa_supplicant problem.
