ipw2200-fw startup bash

Whenever I boot up my computer, I must run

ip link set eth1 up
wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhcpcd eth1

or the wifi card wont work. The only solution I can think of is to make a bash script containing these commands and having it run automatically on startup. How would one go about doing this?

Add it to /etc/rc.local

And consider using Netcfg.

Ill try getting netcfg to work

Avan · 2012-03-23 21:10:56

When I try to connect to my network, it just says

IOCTL[blahblahblah] operation not supported
IOCTL[blahblahblah] operation not supported
IOCTL[blahblahblah] operation not supported
IOCTL[blahblahblah] operation not supported
IOCTL[blahblahblah] operation not supported
IOCTL[blahblahblah] operation not supported
IOCTL[blahblahblah] operation not supported
IOCTL[blahblahblah] operation not supported
IOCTL[blahblahblah] operation not supported
IOCTL[blahblahblah] operation not supported
IOCTL[blahblahblah] operation not supported

Failed

This happened occasionally when I did it manually. Whats the problem?

Try this:

Make sure you have netcfg installed and properly set up (see the wiki).

1. Remove 'ipw2200' in MODULES in rc.conf (If there).
2. Add 'blacklist ipw2200' in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
3. Add '/sbin/modprobe ipw2200' in /etc/rc.local
4. Add 'netcfg <PROFILE-NAME>' in /etc/rc.local (after the modprobe line) - change '<PROFILE-NAME>' to the name you gave your
ipw2200 netcfg profile.
5. Reboot.

This should result in your network coming up as you expect.
