ath0:1 ?? why an alias, btw? Please attach /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ath*
Alias? Here's the script when set to Auto mode: # Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt # for the documentation of these parameters. GATEWAY=192.168.2.1 TYPE=Wireless DEVICE=ath0:1 HWADDR=00:0f:3d:ad:a1:bc BOOTPROTO=none NETMASK=255.255.255.0 DHCP_HOSTNAME=cobra.ivg2.net IPADDR=192.168.2.105 DOMAIN= IPV6INIT=yes ONBOOT=yes USERCTL=no PEERDNS=yes ESSID='134C Valentine' CHANNEL=11 MODE=Auto RATE=Auto NETMASK=255.255.255.0
Changing "Auto" to "auto" does not make the error go away, does it?
No...
I had this happen on a Dell D610 using the ipw2200. The solution for me was to remove the line "RATE=Auto" completely from my ifcfg-eth1 file. Then it no longer gave errors. Originally when the error message occured it still continued to setup the wireless link, and did work work. Removing the "RATE=" line worked the same but did not give an error when doing "ifup eth1" in my case. I wonder if this will be the same for your setup ? Mike
