Hello,

I have a WRT54G v1 router.  For some reason, it cannot find the wireless interface wl0.  In the GUI, I see the following error:


ifconfig: wl0: error fetching interface information: Device not found ifconfig: wl0: error fetching interface information: Device not found wl0 No such device 


From a console, I see the following if I restart the network:


root@AC7BR-1:~# /etc/init.d/network restart

udhcpc (v1.4.2) started

Sending discover..

ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device

ifconfig: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device

No Broadcom wl interface found!

No Broadcom wl interface found!

ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device

ifconfig: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device

Sending discover...

No Broadcom wl interface found!

wl0(broadcom): enable failed


The wireless settings in /etc/config/network are:

#### WIFI configuration

ifname   "wl0"config interface wifi

option ifname "wl0"

option proto static

option ipaddr 10.250.120.255

option netmask 255.0.0.0


I am using firmware version 0.4.3.


Any thoughts on why the wireless interface will not start?


Thanks,


Brad

The WRT54G (original) that runs on 5 VDC only, has the radio on a plug in card module. Check and reseat the radio card as the connection may be poor. Glenn,KD5MFW

Thanks for the quick reply.  That was in fact the problem.  The router is working great now.
