my nic from lspci:
Code:
02:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4309 802.11a/b/g (rev 03)
I had the issue with wlan0_rename I found here and got rid of that. Now I get the "phantom interface" wmaster0 which has the same HWaddr as the wlan0 with -30-3A-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 added to the end.
Problem: After a fresh boot wlan0 does not come up properly.
from dmesg:
Code:
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
immediatly trying to do a
Code:
ifdown -a && ifup -a
results in same output to dmesg.
If I run through and reconfigure wireless via "ceni", using the same settings that were already there, the wireless works just fine. I can even bring it up and down. When I reboot again though I get the same issue.
my network/interfaces:
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid xxxxxxx
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
any thoughts? |

Apparently, the wmaster0 appearing is normal.
slh says: "No bug and a merely cosmetical issue, a common behaviour for mac80211 based drivers."
see:

As to the "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready" error, it seems to be quite common, but the error seems to show up for a variety of reasons.
I don't think that there's anything wrong with your interfaces file (although in mine, it says auto lo wlan0 instead of dividing it into two lines.
I would:
1. Upgrade the kernel to the latest version.
2. Uninstall unneeded drivers that may conflict with your chosen driver: e.g. ndiswrapper, prism drivers, etc. |

Thanks for a response! I double checked and no prism or ndis loaded (never were by me). This is a fresh gaia install and updated through today via smxi. I've been tackling this for a couple days now. Even tried taking out bcm43xx-fwcutter and leaving only the b34-fwcutter with no luck. I've tried static IPs, removing eth0 completely from interfaces, and maybe a few more htings I'm forgetting offhand.
I'm not smrt enough to figure out what ceni does diffeently when bringing up the interfaces that might be a clue. Whatever ceni does, it works. |
