Post subject:  working Wlan - only after running startscript manually
Hi!

I've tired several ideas from this board to get the WLAN starting automatic after boot. Nothing works - only a seperate script maually started.

I've tried to config /etc/network/interfaces

Code:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
        address 192.168.123.222
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.123.0
        broadcast 192.168.123.255
        gateway 192.168.123.100
        wireless_mode managed
        wireless_essid xxxxxxxxx
        wireless_key xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx



But that does not work (not after boot)
Only a script like wlan-reboot.sh with:
Code:
iwlist wlan0 scanning
sleep 6
ifup wlan0

This works!

But this works only as root via shell.
It does not work in bootmisc.sh too!!

I've tried to add an item to the Myth-Menu.

Code:
<button>
<type> WLAN-Restart </type>
<text> WLAN-Restart </text>
<action>EXEC perl /etc/wlan-restart.sh</action>
</button>



The new button apears, but it seems that it does not work.
The command itself ("perl /etc/wlan-restart.sh") works!

What can I do now?

THANKS

I suspect that the myth menu option doent work because it is being run as mythtv and not root.

Do you get any output from the miscboot.sh attempt. Try capturing output

In miscboot.sh try
Code:
/etc/wlan-restart.sh > /tmp/wlan.log 2>&1


After further review...is that script perl? looks like a shell script. Whu the PERL in the menu script? still, I think the permissions required need root.

I'm having a similar problem; I think hotplug causes it, but it could be my oddball zd1211 driver. If you move network initialization to after hotplug, it may work better. Or you might break other things.

Thanks khrusher!
I was on the same spoor - and you'Re right.

I added an entry via "visudo"and the script works with "sudo /etc/myboot.sh"
and the same for my "Reboot-Script" in the Myth-Menu.

Now it works!
