-Disabling wlan works


Loading Bleedings egde using applet or load.sh gives me
Code:

Error while loading kernel modules
ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device
Error while starting wlan0 interface
Drivers were not loaded

So, any ideas why this is happening and how to fix this?

Edit: I tried advanced interface switcher, but under preferences - WLAN startup mode I can only select "stock"

I'm using power49 kernel. Thanks for helping mate. ;)

Edit: Nevermind, found the error.
In xterm
Code:

uname -r
revealed the answer.
Accidentily omap instead of power49 was loaded ;) *stupid me* :D

I am also getting the "SIOCGIFFLAGS: no such device" error. uname -r shows:
Code:

~ $ uname -r
2.6.28.10-power50
~ $

So why am I getting the error?

Looks like ifconfig in the load / unload script for the injection drivers throws up that error message looking for the hardware address of wlan0. With injection drivers loaded it doesn't seem to find the wlan0 device anymore. I am getting a "Unknown symbol in module" error when trying to load wl1251_spi.ko, which might explain why ifconfig doesn't see the hardware (ie. the drivers are not loaded).

Edit: Rebooted a few times and re-downloaded the KP50 version drivers again fixed the problem for a bit, but I have a feeling that they are not really stable; ie. after awhile, the loading / unloading runs into problems again. Might be a solution to just load them and run with them, ie. avoid repeated loading / unloading cycles.

I updated the new drivers to my server, so it should download the new ones, if you delete the old ones with file manager :)

Just updated to kp50 finally and i just had to use gconf editor (as explained in first post but I used the GUI gconf editor) to point to new drivers and all works fine here.
