ifcfg ONBOOT setting [solved]


Recommended Posts

After all the fun of getting ndiswrapper working with my wifi card, I've now found a bit of an issue I'd like to iron out if possible.

 

The current setting in ifcfg-wlan0 is ONBOOT=yes as I'm usually at home with the card inserted when I boot. However, this might not be the case, or if I'm at a public hotspot I might need to use an alternate config.

 

If I boot without the card in, it won't come up later - the interface will, but it seems to ignore the config (possibly because of the ONBOOT line...?) so I can't connect to my own AP. Even after removing and re-modprobing ndiswrapper, still no connection.

 

So ... is there any way round this, i.e. preventing the attempt to bring up wlan0 during boot if the card is not present?

 

Sorry if this seems more of a Hardware post, but I figure the actual solution (if there is one) would be a down-n-dirty programming type one.
