Hello everyone!
Why iwconfig tells me
wifi0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"test"
Mode:Master Access Point: Not-Associated Bit
Rate:11 Mb/s
Sensitivity=1/3
Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment
thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
eth0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"test"
Mode:Master Access Point: Not-Associated Bit
Rate:11 Mb/s
Sensitivity=1/3
Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment
thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid
frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed
beacon:0
but no wlan0 interfaces exist? i remember that the hostap
driver creates
both wifi0 and wlan0, and then one have to configure wlan0
and forget
about wifi0.. but now i don't have wlan0.. i've blacklisted
orinoco_pci,
so now the only module that is loaded at boot is hostap (and
hostap_pci).. do i miss something? here is the output of
dmesg:
[root PCGUEST9G9 ~]# dmesg | grep hostap
hostap_pci: 0.4.4-kernel (Jouni Malinen <jkmalinecc.hut.fi>)
hostap_pci: Registered netdevice wifi0
[rootPCGUEST9G9 ~]# dmesg | grep wifi0
hostap_pci: Registered netdevice wifi0
wifi0: Original COR value: 0x20
wifi0: NIC: id=0x8022 v1.0.0
wifi0: PRI: id=0x15 v1.1.1
wifi0: STA: id=0x1f v1.7.4
wifi0: Intersil Prism2.5 PCI: mem=0xe0500000, irq=11
wifi0: registered netdevice wlan0
what this last line means? and what is instead that eth0
that iwconfig
shows?
thanx a lot
Rob

Considering that it's in Master mode, it must be wlan0
renamed to eth0
by some userspace program. In Fedora, interfaces are
matched by MAC
address, so if would happen if you have a file
matching /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* that
contains
HWADDR=your_mac
DEVICE=eth0
It may be different on other distros. Check also /etc/iftab
- it's used
by ifrename for renaming the interfaces.

I'd say that your dmesg output is not enough detailed, you
filtered it too
much ;)
I would, in any case, also blacklist the orinoco module
(orinoco.ko), and
not only the orinoco_pci.
I guess that should then work (upon system restart)

Please write below the quoted parts of the original e-mail
and don't
quote the whole message. This way you may actually notice
something
interesting. Such as the fact that eth0 is in Master mode,
which pretty
much exonerates the orinoco driver, unless the original
poster was using
HermesAP

In fact in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ there is the file
ifcfg-eth0
and there isn't any ifcfg-wlan0..
but in ifcfg-eth0 there isn't any line such
HWADDR=mac_address..
Moreover /etc/iftab reads
eth0 mac 00:02:8a:a0:83:d6
eth1 mac 00:0a:e4:48:42:7f
So I edit /etc/iftab in
wlan0 mac 00:02:8a:a0:83:d6
eth1 mac 00:0a:e4:48:42:7f
then i've renamed /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 adding also the
line
HWADDR=00:02:8a:a0:83:d6 in it.
Anyway nothing has changed...
Before I've tried to use the ifrename command but:
[rootPCGUEST9G9 rob]# ifrename -i 00:02:8a:a0:83:d6 -n
wlan0
Error: cannot change name of 00:02:8a:a0:83:d6 to wlan0: No
such device
Any idea of what i can try more?
Thanx
Rob

I've added these lines to my /etc/modprobe.conf
blacklist orinoco
blacklist orinoco_pci
Do you think it's enough or should I move out the file
orinoco.ko ?
Thanx, Rob

If under debian you will have to change the name into:
/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules
Hope it helps,
Sebastian

Since I'm not an expert, I'm not sure that modprobe.conf is
the file to
put the blacklist commands, and have them working ok.
So far, I put the blacklist commands in the file blacklist,
to be found at
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
# Blacklisting orinoco since it's the one Ubuntu loads as
default
blacklist orinoco
blacklist orinoco_cs
Those are the lines I added there, to prevent Ubuntu from
loading orinoco
instead of HostAP on the wireless cards having Prism
chipset.
I hope this works for you, if not, I'm out of ideas.
