[gentoo-user] postup() syntax help

[Grant]

I'm having trouble getting an iwconfig command to execute after the
wlan0 interface has started.  The following executes after net.lo
starts but there is no message about it executing after net.wlan0
starts and the rate is not limited like it is when I execute the
command manually:

postup() {
     if [[ ${IFACE} = "wlan0" ]]; then
             iwconfig wlan0 rate 1M
     fi
     return 0
}

Does anyone see where I'm going wrong here?

IIRC, the equality operator is "==", not "=".

HTH.

Both is valid in bash.

I'd put a "set -xv" before the if statement, this way you see which 
statements, if any, get executed.

fantastic!  I never knew about that... All the debugging it could have
saved me!
