Description Oeystein Olsen 2003-06-11 09:22:18 EDT 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225

Description of problem:
I have Compaq Multiport W200 radiocard. The driver was downloaded from 
http://ranty.ddts.net/~ranty/orinoco/  The driver installed without any
problems. Now if I run ifconfig, I have the devices lo, eth0 and wlan0. 
iwconfig recognizes wlan0 as a wireless lan. Neat does not recognize this
wireless lan. (Bug ?)

I created manually an ifcfg-wlan0, and I could start up the wireless lan with
"ifup  wlan0". If I create network profiles involving wlan0 manually, network
profiles work as it should. But if I start up neat and choose to  edit the wlan0
device, wlan0 is replaced by ethX and ifup doesn't work anynore. 

[If I try to configure the wireless lan with neat, then choosing other network
card -> card that loads the driver (lucent/orinico), I get the message that the
device isn't present when I try to activate. If I rename ifcfg-eth1 to
ifcfg-wlan0 and replacing eth1 with wlan0, then "ifup wlan0" works. "ifup et1"
never worked]


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure wlan0 device manually, since neat doesn't recognize wlan0
2. Edit device with neat. 
    

Actual Results:  The files ifcfg-wlan0 are renamed to ifcfg-ethX. The files are
edited and the DEVICE=wlan0 is replaced with DEVICE=eth1

Expected Results:  Neat should recognize wlanX devices and treat the similar to
ppp0 , eth0  devices

I have the same problem with some different environment items.  I have a
ThinkPad with a built-in Prism-based wireless card.  I use the "hostap" driver,
which also provides a wlan0 device.  It is neat's naming convention of "ethx"
that causes the problem.  It is not prepared to create wlan0 devices.  I can
make the system work without neat.  If I edit the config with neat, it changes
the device name and renames the ifcfg file to ethx.  Then I can't run "ifup
wlan0" anymore.
Comment 2 x1 2004-06-09 05:54:01 EDT 
It's still not fixed in FC-2 - I cannot config wlan* devices with
system-config-network.
Comment 3 Kim Lux 2004-11-03 12:00:52 EST 
I have quite a bit of experience with configuring wlanx devices with 
system-config-network.  Please post a copy of the ifcfg-wlan0 file 
you started with.  
 
 
We use ndiswrapper with the Broadcom wireless cards and 
system-config-network will change the config in ifcfg-wlan0 in that 
setup.  
 
Visit www.zd7000forums.com and look under Linux.  There is a wireless 
HOWTO there that works well.
Comment 4 Tobias Oed 2006-04-25 19:12:48 EDT 
This is with FC5.
I'm also using ndiswrapper and it works. But only 
if I put "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" in /etc/modprobe.conf
instead of /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper (where the
ndiswrapper prog puts it)
So aparently the module scanning of neat is broken.
