Re: [Gumstix-users] newbie with wifistix problems

[Alex <kb...@gm...>]

ifup uses the configuration files in /etc/network to bring interfaces up.
I'm guessing that if mwlan0 isn't listed there, it won't work. Try ifconfig
mwlan0 up

Failing that, make sure you've modprobed the proper modules, then try
ifconfig mwlan0 up again. I'm not sure what needs to be loaded. pcmcia,
pcmcia_core, smc91x, gumstix-smc91x look promising. Someone else might know
the specifics.
