My dog ate my WiFi...
OK, but seriously...
I have this card: Code:
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4321 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 01) Code:
ll -1 /var/log/packages/ | egrep "b43|wicd" Code:
blacklist b43 I installed wicd with Code:
slackpkg install wicd Code:
IFNAME[4]="wlan0" /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | grep wlan0 has these details... Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:16:cf:b4:5c:c3", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan0" At no time did I ever run Code:
/etc/rc.d/rc.wireless Code:
Oct 3 13:05:38 My-KungFu kernel: [ 1228.055189] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready I'm tired of rebooting :( Thank you all for your time. |
If you want to use WICD then please remove all network configuration from /etc/rc.d/rc,inet1.conf - thr two will conflict. Also, you have to tell WICD the name of your wireless interface - it probably does not yet know that it is "wlan0".

Thanks Bob. :)
Man, you are quick! Edit0: Thanks Eric! Edit1: reboot (sigh)? |

ifconfig or iwconfig doesn't show any wlan0, still.
I bounced /usr/sbin/wicd anyway. same same. |
If wlan0 does not appear in ifconfig/iwconfig it is unlikely to have anything to do with wicd.
It is a bit unclear which driver you are attempting to use. Are you trying to use b43 or wl? I think wl might be the better driver for your wireless card as this says that b43 only partially supports it. Just in case, did you try to modprobe whatever driver you are using? |

Eric's page says "/sbin/modprobe 3c59x" but I don't have a 3com card, not sure what to actually use in place of it...I will have to re-read some docs tomorrow and try again. Thank you for your time. Woo-hoo! Code:
/sbin/modprobe b43 to survice reboot? Edit: update from another post.... "If you use the b43-firmware and b43-fwcutter packages do not blacklist anything." says ReaperX7 over here... Thanks. Edit: mv /etc/modprobe.d/b43_blacklist.conf to .org and rebooted. All fixed. |
