Hi, my first post in this forum.
After having been using Ubuntu for more than 2 years now, I installed Arch a couple of weeks back and am loving it.
I have an Intel wireless card. I installed ipw2200-fw and then added the module ipw2200 in the rc.conf to be loaded. However, at every boot up, the system hangs for a long time when starting network and finally exits with the error message "Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device eth0 ; Operation not supported.". After booting up, I have to restart the network manually and this usually succeeds. I have taken off network from the daemons that are loaded and started it manually after booting up. The same problem happens as you can see here.
[raja@arch ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/network start
:: Starting Network [BUSY] Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device eth0 ; Operation not supported.

The first time the ifconfig shows no IP address while it does after the second attempt. This is my rc.conf

I am unable to understand what it happening here. Would be great if someone can shed some light.

out of curiosity why do you have eth0 & eth1 enabled but disable eth1 in INTERFACES
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth1="eth1 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="dhcp"
wlan_eth0="eth0 essid MYESSID key xxxxxxxx"
WLAN_INTERFACES=(eth0)
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 !eth1)
is eth0 really your wireless connection?
wlan_eth0="eth0 essid MYESSID key xxxxxxxx"
i have diffrent card & mine comes up eth1 cause the wired gets eth0
Offline
Yes. eth0 is my wireless card and eth1 is the wired connection. I disabled eth1 since I dont usually use it and it was taking time trying to connect to it everytime I boot.

you may want to clean it up a bit then
l
o="lo 127.0.0.1"
#eth1="eth1 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
#eth0="dhcp"
eth1="dhcp"
wlan_eth0="eth0 essid MYESSID key xxxxxxxx"
WLAN_INTERFACES=(eth0)
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 !eth1)
like so
i commented out the 1st eth1 line also, i believe that line should be disabled when using dhcp, mine is
Offline
Thanks for the help, but no joy so far after trying that.
Does anyone have a clue as to what may be wrong ?
Thanks.

whats output of
iwconfig
Offline
I have the same issue, and i've heard reports of others having similar problems.... It fixed itself briefly, but has since resumed
It's something with the key, if you disable the key it will boot fine.... of course, that leaves your network wide open..
insanity happens...

What type of encryption you use on the network?
