Subject: Errors when firmware is missing
Date: Sat, 7 Jul 2007 12:27:11 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9e4733910707070927l37bdf79cpd1fc672909fb0bb3@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
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?
