|
|
I have not bee able to find a howto that explains what to do to get the wlan-ng drivers working with gentoo.
Here is my howto. Non pcmcia.
Can someone please tell me what I am missing and have to do to get it working.
First run
emerge linux-wlan-ng
nano -w /etc/conf.d/wlan.conf
change this line
SSID_wlan0="Bdraw" # sid of your AP
ENABLE_wlan0=y
cp /etc/conf.d/wlancfg-DEFAULT /etc/conf.d/wlancfg-Bdraw # Bdraw is name of ssid
nano -w /etc/conf.d/wlancfg-Bdraw
edit follwoing lines
dot11WEPDefaultKey0=01:23:45:67:89:AB:CD:EF:01:23:45 #Wep Key
AuthType="sharedkey" #enable Wep
lnxreq_hostWEPEncrypt=true # Required for wep?
lnxreq_hostWEPDecrypt=true
nano -w /etc/conf.d/net
Add this line.
iface_wlan0="dhcp"
nano -w /etc/modules.d/aliases
Add this line
alias wlan0 prism2_pci # for pci wi-fi adaptors
run
modules-update
run lsmod and make sure that the Kernel module is not loaded. In my case this works
lsmod | grep orinoco_pci
No results should be returned.
Load wlan-ng modules
modprobe prism2_pci
run /etc/init.d/wlan start
It should be working but in my case it returns an error
# /etc/init.d/wlan start
* Starting WLAN devices...
/sbin/runscript.sh: line 51: /sbin/prism2dl: No such file or directory [ ok ]
I do not have this file prims2dl.
If I really do need it then why was not included in the ebuild.
My setup.
Sharp Actius um32w.
Integrated wi-fi adaptor(NOT pcmcia) that works almost fine with kernel modules.
Gentoo 1.4 running kernel 2.4.22-ck2 _________________ If it's too easy it's boring.

A couple other clues I have collected.
Now everytime I boot the prism2_pci module is loaded, even though it is not in modules.autoload.
Looking at dmesg I can also see that the orinoco_pci module tried to load itself like 10 times, but dosen't since the prism2_pci is already loaded. _________________ If it's too easy it's boring.
