Hi all,
I've got a Dell Inspiron 1501 with a Broadcom 1390 Wlan mini card
(integrated) wireless lan chipset. I've got an init script setup to
activate the wireless connection at boot time, however when the system
boots the adapter doesn't connect. I'm not able to get a connection
until after the desktop is done loading and I run the script from the
command line.
what about running your script from the
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.
Start it at the end of it, but be careful if your scrip block the boot
process, your systm will block! Be sure to have a rescue CD ready.

well... I've got it starting as a service, however it doesn't make the
connection. when the system starts to run the script the script runs
fine but the wireless doesn't make the connection. "Network is down"
is reported to the console as the system is booting.
Once the desktop loads and I'm logged in, if I issue "service wireless
restart" (I've got it setup as a sysV init script) the wireless
connects perfectly every time.

Hi
This is probably a timing issue.
If your initscript follows the conventions required for chkconfig you
should have a line that looks something like
# chkconfig: 2345 10 90
The first setting representing the levels to start at, second being the
start sequence number, and the third being the kill sequence number. So
in my example the service starts in runlevels 2,3,4, and 5. The order it
started in is determined by S10<service name> The Order it is killed in
is K90<service name>
You may want to try changing the S Value to 99 Initially so that it is
one of the last things started and if this works then identify what
needs to started before your script will work that wasn't with the
original S Value.
Hope this helps, have a nice day :)
Hi Clint,
Thank you for the info. I've been wondering what the second and third
numbers are for. I'll give that a try.
