Errors when firmware is missing

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

 



I have a new Broadcom 4318 adapter (which has exactly the same issues
with promiscuous mode). I didn't have the right firmware down for it
and I received this error message when I did "ifconfig wlan up"
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory.  This is not the most user
friendly error message, but I did receive a log entry.

I tried the same thing with the zd1211. In this case the wlan0 device
didn't get created.

Does it make sense to specify consistent behavior when the firmware is missing?
