 |
|
Hello
I try to Install Gentoo on my new Notebook using the LiveCD.
But it does not recognize my Intel® PRO/Wireless 4965AGN Networkcard so I cant access the Internet.
I have loaded iwl4965 but
ifconfig -a only shows eth0 and lo
can you help me? |

If you have the option, you can install using physical ethernet and worry about wifi when you've got a system working, then it'll be a lot easier.
Second, it's a long-term smart move to install using the minimal cd or some other equivalent. You'll learn a lot in the process, you can tweak
more stuff and usually gives less trouble.
So first thing to do is to remove and reload the kernel module, while checking what the kernel has to say in dmesg. After that see if the device
is correctly recognized in lspci. Also, are you sure that eth0 shown with ifconfig really is your physical ethernet adapter and not the wifi adapter?
Does it work?
P.S. this thread really belongs to networking, could some nice moderator move it? |

In fact, you should use a wired network to install your box and after you will have all the time that you want to use your Wifi connection.
Good luck with your installation. |

Now I have installed Gentoo using a wired network, but the problem is still the same, the Card is not recognized.
Is iwl4965 really the right driver for Intel® PRO/Wireless 4965AGN?
Because lspci shows:
| Code: | | 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Device 4237 |
and modinfo iwl4965 has only two aliases:
| Code: | alias: pci:v00008086d00004230sv*sd*bc*sc*i*
alias: pci:v00008086d00004229sv*sd*bc*sc*i* |
can anyone help me with that? |

Install the system first over the wired network.
And yes the iwl4965 is the right driver for your card. Check your error logs.

I just find that:
| Code: | # dmesg | grep iwl4965
iwl4965: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN driver for Linux, 1.2.23ks
iwl4965: Copyright(c) 2003-2007 Intel Corporation |
But I'm missing a sentence like:
iwl4965: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN... |

If you're using WEP, add to /etc/conf.d/net:
| Code: | modules=( "iwconfig" )
key_INSERTYOURSSIDHERE="[1] beef-beef-be key [1] enc restricted"
|
Edit INSERTYOURSSIDHERE and replace it with your SSID. If you have a ascii-key, prepend it with s: and replace the beef-beef-be above (like s:secretkey), then do
| Code: | ln -s /etc/init.d/net.lo /etc/init.d/net.wlan0
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start |
This is all assuming you're ditching out IPs with DHCP ofcourse.
if you're using WPA1/2 encryption, google is your friend (hint: net-wireless/wpa_supplicant, but read up on it first)
Also, emerge k3b is _alway_ helpful! |

@gryzor:
| Code: | # /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* Starting wlan0
* Bringing up wlan0
* dhcp
* network interface wlan0 does not exist
* Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver) |
I think that could't work because the problem is that the driver doesn't recognize the card, so wlan0 doesn't exist.
@d2_racing:
| Code: | # update-pciids

I installed first from the wired connector, then did wireless later, configuring
kernel, and using networkmanager. Here is my dmesg
| Code: |

| Yes I did it the same way, but because the Driver does not detect my Wireless Card I get only the first 2 lines. |

Because you're using the wrong driver.
That is not a 4965, that's a 5100. It should work with the latest 2.6.27-rc kernel. |

So, that's why we don't see any 4965 inside his lspci.
But why the update of the lspci doesn't work ? |

Because they haven't added an entry for the 5100 or 5300 yet? |

Nice
Are you using the iwl4965-ucode even if you have a 5100 wireless card ? |

Great
And inside the kernel, you are using the Iwl5100 module ?
Can you post the section that contain the driver Iwl500 inside your .config plz |

There's no such driver. It's called iwlagn. |
