Greetings,
After some time (I was using my eth0 wired connection) I've decided to get my BCM4312 up and running on my vostro1310. I've found that I need wl driver from Broadcom website. Done that, so far so good. I followed
alien slackbook about networking. All good. Now after I rebooted my system eth0 and wireless are down. So this is what I have:
Code:
bash-3.1# uname -r
2.6.29.6-smp
bash-3.1# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

And this is my rc.inet1.conf:
Code:
# Config information for eth0:
IPADDR[0]=""
NETMASK[0]=""
USE_DHCP[0]="yes"
DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""
# Default gateway IP address:
GATEWAY=""
# Change this to "yes" for debugging output to stdout. Unfortunately,
# /sbin/hotplug seems to disable stdout so you'll only see debugging output
# when rc.inet1 is called directly.
DEBUG_ETH_UP="no"
# Configuration for Broadcom4312
IFNAME[1]="wlan1"
IPADDR[1]=""
NETMASK[1]=""
USE_DHCP[1]="yes"
DHCP_HOSTNAME[1]="V13"
GETAWAY="192.168.1.254"
WLAN_MODE[1]=Managed
WLAN_ESSID[1]="Kosmodrom"
WLAN_WPA[1]="wpa_supplicant"
WLAN_WPADRIVER[1]="wext"
WLAN_WPAWAIT[1]=30
Also configured my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf just like alien.slackbook said. Why there is no wlan1 visible but eth0, eht1?
Thank you for any help.
