Correct way of doing things....

Hi there,

I've had quite a few problems in getting wireless up and running but I now have it. Trouble is that the way I've got things working feels really sloppy and was wondering if anyone could give me a few tips on what to do next time

.

To try and get my wireless card started and an IP address assigned on startup I just went into /etc/conf.d/net and did this:

Code:

# Global config file for net.* rc-scripts

# This is basically the ifconfig argument without the ifconfig $iface
#
iface_eth0="dhcp"

modprobe ndiswrapper
iface_wlan0="dhcp"
dhcpcd wlan0

When I startup everything does work, I have wireless access with an IP from my router but I do get an error during startup, something like:

Code:

error prossessing "unlink" in "GLOBAL"

twice just after it's loaded the ndiswrapper module. There's no proformance issue with the system, I just need to know the correct way of doing things.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Happy burns night (last night - i know) from another Chris.

To business. Havent seen your error before however if you can advise on your distro as well as some outputs from ifconfig and iwconfig as well that'd be grand.
Cheers
