Error for wireless request "Set Nickname" (8B1C) -- /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
Slackware 13, Gateway NV52, Atheros AR928X - 168c:002a (rev 01)
After startup, I can get connected to my router using: ifconfig wlan0 up wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf dhcpcd wlan0 I know it works, because this is how I'm posting now. However, when I try to set up the rc.inet1.conf file so it will load on start up, I get : Error for wireless request "Set Nickname" (8B1C) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported. Here's what I have set in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf (relevant part): IFNAME[4]="wlan0" USE_DHCP[4]="yes" WLAN_ESSID[4]=myRouter WLAN_MODE[4]=Managed WLAN_RATE[4]="54M auto" WLAN_WPA[4]="wpa_supplicant" WLAN_WPADRIVER[4]="wext" Any help is greatly appreciated. |
"Any" help comes:
Just put it into rc.local and forget the rc.inet1 stuff. Code:
wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf You may even replace rc.inet1 with your own, eight lines long one and get rid of that very long script. Beware: do not forget to set up loopback interface ;-) This may lead to strange behaviors, I can tell you ;-) The idea of Slackware is to know Linux, not any particular distro. If you know how to set up wpa_supplicant, why learning how to set up wpa_supplicant via Slackware startup script? |
