Hello Again...
well what a saga it has been to get my little pi working with it's wifi dongle... but.. at last I now have it picking up a reserved IP address from my router by enabling
netctl-auto@wlan0.service with systemctl (enabling the profile setup with wifi-menu).
However I think I still have 2x issues that I just can't seem to mine the appropriate sollutions for... so I am looking for some advice
Firstly, I think the wifi dongle is going into power saving mode (blue LED slowly blinking on the dongle, occasionally flickering as if traffic is present), I have seen in various forum posts on the web (
http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/viewto ... 28&t=61665) that you can create a file in the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory to disable power management features, however if I use the mentioned command I get an error telling me that the directory doesn't exist.. so where should I create the .conf file in order to use the below instruction?? (and what is the best way to create a file)?
# Disable power management
options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0
Secondly, I think I have the ifplugd issue where the eth0 connection takes priority over the wlan0 link, I think I disabled ifplugd correctly but would like to remove it from the system, how do I achieve this in Archlinux? The reason I believe this to be the issue is that the attached devices page in my router management interface shows the IP addresses for both inet interfaces but under the same MAC address, when the e-net cable is removed the correct mac address shows on the router management page... Am I on the right track here or has anyone else had a similar experience with a better sollution?
Thanks in advance
JK
edit: hmm this is so frustrating... so when I see the wireless adapter in my router management page with the correct MAC address it seems I still cant ping the IP from my laptop... I am now officially confused!!
