It's been giving me headache since day zero, but I've been -mostly- able to handle it in one or another way. Yesterday I rebooted (I rarely do), and another horror story begun. Now I am getting this messages at init: C=C3=B3digo: INIT: Entering runlevel: 3 * Restoring Mixer Levels ... [ ok ] * Starting D-BUS system messagebus ... [ ok ] * Starting metalog ...

I can reach the net and everything works... well... maybe 7 times out of 10. Sometimes I have to kill everything related to wpa_supplicant and restart the net.wlan0 service, while I cross my fingers in the hope to reach the internet. But what annoys me the most is the fact that many important services do not start because they depend on net.wlan0, which spits out these errors disrupting the init process. I've been using this for some time now, and I changed the config a lot of times. Always had problems. The last time I set this up I removed everything from /etc/conf.d/net and /etc/conf.d/wpa_supplicant, and let it did it's automatic job instead. So far, it's working... some random times. The errors always show though. And they screw up the init. The worst is that it bits sshd, which leaves me without remote access any random day. Ugh. So, any idea where to start looking? :D --=20 Jes=C3=BAs Guerrero Botella
