Your wireless settings are not picked up by mdk 10.1?


Hi,

I had the issue that my wireless settings in ifcfg-wlan0 file were not picked up by the setting after running iwup wlan0.

After some debugging I found out that the ifup script (under /etc/sysconfig/network) queried the iwconfig to early, causing the query to retrieve nothing. This prevent the setting of the wireless-settings.

I solved it by moving this code chunk to the bottom of the ifup script:

# is the device wireless? If so, configure wireless device specifics
# (MOVED from above)
IS_WIRELESS=
if is_wireless_device ${DEVICE}; then
. ./ifup-wireless
IS_WIRELESS=1
fi

Hope this will help some of you.

Ronald
