Arch Linux

I installed arch on my acer aspire one. Was trying to make wireless start automatically at boot up. I set the wireless network options as described in wiki. But /etc/rc.d/network restart was saying to me that i either need to increase WIRELESS_TIMEOUT or be sure that i have no WPA. indeed i have no wpa, and i can see that init script set the essid according to my needs, but /etc/rc.d/network scripts fails.
I opened this script, analized it and made a trivial fix to it (see below)
So i ask to add this fix to the future releases, it can not be harmful and it helped me.


wi_up()
{
eval iwcfg="\$wlan_${1}"
[ "$iwcfg" = "" ] && return 0
#this is what I added (probably interface up should be made with ifconfig.
ip l set $1 up
#end of insert
/usr/sbin/iwconfig $iwcfg
[[ -z "$WIRELESS_TIMEOUT" ]] && WIRELESS_TIMEOUT=2
sleep $WIRELESS_TIMEOUT

bssid=`iwgetid $1 -ra`
if [[ "$bssid" = "00:00:00:00:00:00" ]]; then
printhl "Could not associate $1 - try increasing WIRELESS_TIMEOUT and check network is WEP or has no security"
return 1
fi
return 0
}
