Kickstarting from a wireless interface...

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Up until RedHat 9 we have been able to kickstart without intervention through a wireless interface (a Cisco Aironet). We use a custom "initrd.img" with the aironet module. With 9 when it loads up the "airo.o" the kickstart stops and offers two interfaces which never happened before:

    eth0
    wifi0

This appears to be related to a change in interface naming in the "airo.o" module. The "wifi0" is apparently for straight 802.11 frames and the "eth0" is for 802.3 frames (at least this is what I'm interpreting from emails I've Google'd up).

Has anyone been able to get kickstart to not get confused by the dueling interfaces here? Typically we avoid specifying the interface to kickstart from in the kickstart config because we use a generic install for both systems with 10/100baseT interfaces and wireless interfaces, but this seems to throw a wedge in.

Thanks in advance,
