May 24 22:37:43 <kapookee> When one goes from wired to wireless ethernet on the slug, do you have to change anything other than /etc/network/interfaces?
May 24 22:38:12 <kapookee> It runs fine if I bring up the wireless manually.  When I change /etc/network/interfaces and reboot it hangs with..
May 24 22:38:16 <kapookee> ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready
May 24 22:38:36 <kapookee> according to dmesg.
May 24 22:44:49 <mwester> kapookee: might be module loading issue; perhaps the necessary modules are not available or loaded at the time the system processes the /etc/network/interfaces file at boot.
May 24 22:45:11 <mwester> Works ok for me (atheros wireless, slugosbe 4.4)
May 24 22:45:49 <mwester> I did have to do an "ifup ath0" before I could "iwconfig" the interface at all, though.
May 24 22:46:08 <mwester> (it even works with WPA!)
May 24 22:49:00 <kapookee> Yea, but that's via the command line, right?  What about getting it to start at boot?
May 24 22:49:11 <kapookee> ..or am I missing something?
May 24 22:51:15 <kapookee> oops, missed one of you lines. :-)  I'll check the "module loading issue".  Thanks.
May 24 22:53:24 <mwester> The ifup was done via the "ifup" script that's run when /etc/network/interfaces is processed.  I also start wpa_supplicant in that script to get wpa to work; I'm sure there's a better way, but that hack worked for me.
May 24 23:17:47 <rwhitby> mwester: can you put the contents of your /etc/network/interfaces file on the wiki somewhere?
May 24 23:19:37 <kapookee> That *would* be helpful!
May 24 23:21:14 <rwhitby> I've done something similar, including bridging eth0 and wireless.  I can add that stuff to the same page.
May 24 23:21:34 <rwhitby> (I don't have it working at the moment, but I have drips and drabs of the configuration files lying around)
