Invalid argument when trying to restart connection

Kubuntu · 07-28-2015, 02:43 PM

Hello.

I've a very good wifi connection from boot, and I'm not disappointed in anything. But when I try to restart it due to whatever reason, my terminal shows this message:

Code:

# /etc/init.d/net.wlp0s29f7u5 restart
* Bringing up interface wlp0s29f7u5
*   Configuring wireless network for wlp0s29f7u5

* ERROR: net.wlp0s29f7u5 failed to start

And to restart my wifi connection I have to reboot Gentoo.

Hi:

You shouldn't have to keep rebooting to get your network connection, I would think-

I'm not experienced with Gentoo but maybe these links will help.
