Re: no eth0 on using libertas_tf + F11 on OLPC XO-1

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

 



In my system eth0 is the wireless interface. There is no wlan0. and
after loading libertas_tf there is neither wlan0 nor eth0 interface.

I also tried renaming the eth0 to wlan0 in
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and renaming
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/*-eth* to *-wlan*. Now i have wlan
interface which also disappears on loading libertas_tf.
