[SOLVED] wlan0: unknown interface: No such device

Tiigon · 2011-08-04 16:52:54

Got this error today while trying to sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

It's probably because of some package update... reinstalling didn't work, and it's not a hardware problem (it works with a livecd). Someone managed to fix this problem with rfkill, but it didn't do anything when I tried...

Any ideas?

Remove the first two - net and sound.

Wow, it worked... many thanks!

Here's the relevant bug report https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25308
Are you using archboot or linux 3.0?

Hi poyagh, welcome to Arch. This is an ancient thread, and is probably not relevant to your current problem. Please check this wiki article, and if you still have problems, create a new thread about your problem.

Closing.
