can't connect to wireless anymore :(
My wireless in PCLinuxOS used to work fine, but today it stopped working
When I run /etc/init.d/network restart
I get the following output:
Code:
Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ]
Shutting down interface wlan1: Failed to kill daemon. (Timer expired)
[ OK ]
Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface wlan0: ndiswrapper device wlan0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.
[FAILED]
Bringing up interface wlan1: Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device wlan1 ; Invalid argument.
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - Sorry, there is already an instance of ifplugd for wlan1 running.
[FAILED]
I'm using my wlan1 interface to connect to my wireless network. I'm not using wlan0 since that's a nic which is not supported in linux.
Does anyone know how I can get my wlan1 working again?
thank you

Ah, you're using a USB network adapter, right?
Can you post the output of
lsusb and
ifconfig -a ?
I see that both the rt2500usb module and rt73usb module. I've seen other references to udev loading both modules, and that they can conflict with each other. Hopefully lsusb can help us figure out which driver is correct, or you can test it out by removing one or the other and seeing if it resolves the problem.
Code:
sudo ifconfig wlan1 down
sudo modprobe -r rt2500usb
sudo modprobe -r rt73usb
sudo modprobe rt73usb
sudo ifconfig wlan1 up

I removed rt2500usb and my wireless works fine again!
thank you very much!!

Glad it worked! You'll probably need to blacklist the rt2500usb module so you don't have to go through that everytime you reboot.
Code:
sudo sh -c 'echo "blacklist rt2500usb" > /etc/modprobe.d/rt2500-blacklist.conf'

There was nowhere I could find the file rt2500-blacklist.conf so I added the line: blacklist rt2500usb in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file. Will this also work to blacklist the driver?

Yes, that's fine. Any text file in /etc/modprobe.d/ ending in .conf will be read. I just made the rt2500-blacklist.conf name up as something descriptive of what it was doing.

My wireless stopped working again. Turned out that now I had blacklisted the rt2500usb driver, linux had automatically installed another driver that conflicted with the rt73usb.
