The network service fails to configure wireless specifics on wireless interfaces after upgrade to kernel 3.6. The network service configures wireless specifics on the condition that it detects that a device is wireless based on presence of wireless under sysfs. wireless is no longer present in sysfs under kernel 3.6 so this condition fails: [root@localhost ~]# uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 3.4.11-1.fc16.i686 #1 SMP Sun Sep 16 14:41:18 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [root@localhost ~]# ls -1d /sys/class/net/*/wireless /sys/class/net/eth0/wireless /sys/class/net/wifi0/wireless [root@localhost ~]# uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 3.6.6-1.fc16.i686 #1 SMP Mon Nov 5 17:16:32 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [root@localhost ~]# ls -1d /sys/class/net/*/wireless ls: cannot access /sys/class/net/*/wireless: No such file or directory The sysfs based check was added in this initscripts commit: http://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/initscripts.git/diff/?id=af401fb40f6dd5139e8468dfe1bd3dafe40e8e93 If I revert that commit manually, the network service configures wireless specifics again for me under kernel 3.6. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@localhost ~]# rpm -q initscripts kernel initscripts-9.34.3-1.fc16.i686 kernel-3.4.11-1.fc16.i686 kernel-3.6.6-1.fc16.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure wireless devices to start under the network service 2. Upgrade to kernel 3.6 3. Boot Actual results: Wireless interfaces are not configured with wireless specifics at boot. Expected results: Wireless interfaces shoudl be cofnigured with wireless specifcs at boot as they were with kernel 3.4.
I think wireless extensions in sysfs were removed in this kernel commit in 3.6: https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=35b2a113cb0298d4f9a1263338b456094a414057
