we cant guess at what changed, you need to provide helpful info ... did 1.11.12 work ? what version of wpa_supplicant do you use ? what do you have in your /etc/conf.d/net file ? what net scripts do you have added to your default runlevel ? what does `ls -l /etc/init.d/net.*` show ?

I thought I mentioned what version I downgraded to. >_< (the promisc seems to fix a problem looking for Half Life and BF1942 network games) I also hade the same problem, everything worked with baselayout-1.11.12-r4 but not with baselayout-1.11.13... The "big" different I have found is that .13 looks for iwconfig at /sbin not /usr/sbin wich .12-r4 does... So I just upgraded wireless-tools from 27 to 27-r1 wich "moves" the iwconfig to /sbin... Now everything works as it should again... Dunno, but the baselayout-1.11.13 should depend on wireless-tools => 27-r1 if you use wireless... Well just a thought.... Upgrading wireless-tools makes it work fine now. This dep needs added then. We cannot add that dep as baselayout does not require wireless-tools for it to work. Also, wireless can be completely configured without wireless-tools when you use wpa_supplicant. This just caught me out also. Would it be possible to add einfo's? This also broke my wifi setup, so I masked version 1.11.13... But version 1.11.13-r1 did the same thing, and after searching in the forums and in bugzilla I found this bug, which solved it. Could you please inform the people that they might update their wireless-tools? I still think this shouldn't happen on a stable system and 1.11.13-r1 is marked stable!!! ... just an annoyed comment ... sorry ... P.S.: I didn't have any problems using the unstable (~x86) version on my productive system... |
