Wireless configuration?
Hello,
I'm trying to configure my wireless NIC using /etc/network/interfaces and have a couple of questions.
I've added the wireless stanzas to the interfaces file with the "wireless_essid" and "wireless_key" options to set my ESSID and encryption key. I get the following errors on boot:
Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; No such device.
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools exited with return code 251
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
I'm using kernel modules for my wireless card and I've added them into /etc/modules so that they are loaded prior to the /etc/init.d/networking script running. Why am I getting these errors? Once the system is booted I can do "ifdown eth1" followed by "ifup eth1" and the card gets configured properly.
Also I was wondering if there is a way to configure the card for multiple sites with different encryption keys?
I can do this all with shell scripts but would prefer to use the "Debian way".
Thanks,
Keith.
