Switching from wired to wireless getting "network down"

[Serge Semenenko]

Hi

may be this is what you're looking for...

in rc.conf :

wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_bge0="up"
ifconfig_wlan0="country UA WPA"
ifconfig_ath0="ether 00:1b:24:9e:1b:c6"
ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport bge0 laggport wlan0 DHCP"
cloned_interfaces="lagg0"

in devd.conf :

notify 0 {
match "system" "IFNET";
match "subsystem" "wlan0";
match "type" "LINK_UP";
media-type "802.11";
action "ifconfig lagg0 laggport wlan0";
};

Hi Serge,

That devd.conf entry helps! :-)
I take it as a workaround until rc.conf/rc.d work as they should.
I miss 0-2 pings when unplugging wired cable but that's ok for me.

Thanks! :-)

However, this appears now in /var/log/messages during boot:

Jan 11 01:02:18 mb-aw1n-bsd kernel: iwi0: timeout waiting for (null)
firmware initialization to complete
Jan 11 01:02:18 mb-aw1n-bsd kernel: iwi0: could not load boot firmware
(null)

However, after boot wi-fi works correctly. I'll test more tomorrow..

By "wi-fi works correctly" I meant that I can associate and use my wifi
link _however_ reported crashes still happen and I'm getting more
worried each day especially since today when the system booted to single
due to unexpected soft-updates inconsistencies. (!) :-((
