I bought a DELL OptiPlex FX160 off of ebay for ~$40 and installed the latest version of Incrediblepbx ontop of Centos 6 with Asterisk 13. After getting everything up and running, I realized there was a wireless card slot on the board. I had an old Broadcom 4312 card I wasn't doing anything with and I was going to have to buy a switch or hub at the location I was going to put the PBX (router is out of ports), so I decided to give wireless a go.
Needless to say, it took quite a bit of fooling around to get the drivers loaded and the OS using the eth1 connection instead of eth0. After a lost weekend, I now have the PBX working wirelessly and the quality is perfect (the PBX will live right next to the router at the install site, so I'm not worried about interference). I can detail most of what I finally did, if anyone is interested, but I still have one big problem remaining. When the machine is booted, I always have to login as root and issue "amportal restart" to get the extension/phone working (outbound calls will give the busy signal on every call, if I don't). I also have to "ifup eth1" to get the web console GUI & ssh working.
I tried adding those commands to rc.local, and the commands will do as expected during boot (restarting asterisk and telling me "RTNETLINK answers: File Exists"), but they do not fix the problem. If I don't login as root after booting and issue those commands, nothing works.
Obviously, I can't install the PBX this way. Every power-outage I'd have to drive over to where the PBX lives just to enter those commands. Anybody have an idea as to why this is happening?
