Wireless card suddenly stops working
Hi!
Im using a Wireless card that sometimes stops working, and I dont know why. When the problem occurs, it goes like this: Code:
athlonxp michel # iwlist wlan0 scan this: Code:
athlonxp michel # iwlist wlan0 scan reboot the goddamn thing everytime?! Thanx in advance!! |
I'm not sure why it's seeing the wrong link, but as a temporary fix, you do not have to reboot every time that goes wrong. If you're using hostap, the commands below should work. If not, substitude hostap_pci for your card's driver.
ip link set wlan0 down modprobe -r hostap_pci modprobe hostap_pci Now, reconfigure your interface. For instance, you probable need to run iwconfig to set its essid and either ifconfig or a dhcp client to set its address. If you're using hostap drivers, are you sure your card is in managed mode and not master? That could account for the rouge signal. If you're not sure what driver you're using, run this command [should all be on one line]: readlink /sys/class/net/wlan0/driver | awk -F/ '{ print $NF }' |
