Hello, sorry if this is posted multiple times. I am requesting help on configuring wifi. I'm using wifistix + 400Mhz + STUART The board is new but came with version 1082 What is the difference between wlan0 and mwlan0? here is my /etc/network/interfaces file: iface lo inet loopback #auto usb0 #iface usb0 inet dhcp auto usb0 iface usb0 inet static address 192.168.99.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.99.100 iface bnep0 inet dhcp auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp iface wlan0 inet dhcp auto mwlan0 iface mwlan0 inet dhcp pre-up /sbin/iwconfig $IFACE essid any txpower 100mW When I type: # ifup mwlan0 blue lights flash momentarily and I get: udhcpc (v0.9.9-pre) started However, it doesn't pull an ip from my wireless access point and I get kicked off of my usbnet connection or something. All I know is that my terminal session locks up. please help - this is making me insane. Thank you very much Ben |

Yes, I've had this problem before. It's a problem with dhcp I think. When your access point issues your = gumstix with an IP address, the dhcp client on the gumstix purges the = routing table. The usbnet interface if not brought down, however the = route for it disappears. I think I got round it by adding a post-up line = to usb0 in /etc/network/interfaces which adds the route when usb0 is = brought up. All you have to do then is unplug the usb connection and = plug it back in. I think. :-) Cheers, Tom -----Original Message----- From: gum...@li... on behalf of Ben = Larson Sent: Fri 09/02/2007 21:33 To: gum...@li... Cc:=09 Subject: [Gumstix-users] Wifi disables USBNET...
