wlan0 interface won't auto load
Distribution:Arch Linux 2010.05

I am using ndiswrapper for my Zoom Wireless-G USB card because there are no linux drivers for it. I have also decided to use Wicd for managing my wireless connections, as opposed to using netcfg like I used to use. The problem i'm having is that arch automatically starts my ethernet interface (eth0) on startup, yet it won't auto start my wireless interface (wlan0). Therefore I can't see any wireless connections. However, if I bring up the interface manually (ifconfig wlan0 up), then the wireless works fine. During the setup of Wicd the manual told me to comment out the eth0 and wlan0 interfaces in /etc/rc.conf, im assuming this is because Wicd carries out these options instead. I have tried uncommenting the wlan0 interface in /etc/rc.conf and still no success. Does anyone have any idea why its starting my eth0 interface, but not my wlan0 interface?. *note* in my deamons array I have the following: Quote:
Thanks in advance, Scott. |

Hey Peacedog,
Stupid mistake by me. I don't know why I added it to the Deamons array. Just changed it and added it to the Modules array and its working fine now. Moment of stupidy on my behalf lol. I had read both the Wiki's beforehand but for some reason I still added it to the deamons array when it clearly says modules section lol. Thanks so much, Scott. |
You're welcome, any time. It never hurts to get another pair of eyes looking at a problem. I've needed an extra set on many occasions. Glad you got it sorted.
Good luck. ;-) |
