Description J Dean Brock 2005-07-12 23:55:21 EDT

My /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-wlan0 (as generated by the sysconfig
utilities) contains the line:
  RATE='54 Mb/s'

When I boot my system (before a fix), I got the message:
   Error: unrecognised wireless request "Mb/s"

In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-wireless, there is a line:
   iwconfig $DEVICE rate $RATE

If I change this line to
   iwconfig $DEVICE rate "$RATE"
I don't get the message when I boot

It could be that the problem is really in the config scripts that
write ifcfg-wlan0.  Maybe they should have put '54M' into
the file rather than '54 Mb/s'?

Version of release notes this bug refers to:

Fedora Core 4 final release

Comment 1 Karsten Wade 2005-07-13 01:26:52 EDT

Sorry, I don't see the relationship to the release notes.

rpm -qf /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-wireless
initscripts-7.93.2-1

Reassigning to initscripts owner.
