 |
|
Hello forum,
I installed the iwd package as I use it without issues on other linux distributions and it always works like a charm.
As I am using a Distribution Kernel, I did not set anything in the kernel, and left it as is.
After successfully emerging iwd, I configured the /etc/iwd/main.conf file as suggested by the wiki.
Then, I issued the following commands:
| Code: | rc-update add iwd default
|
| Code: | | rc-service iwd start |
and upon issuing the second command, I receive the message:
| Quote: | | * WARNING: iwd is already starting |
So, when I issue the command iwctl, i get:
| Code: | | Waiting for IWD to start... |
Is there some configuration I missed?
here is my /etc/iwd/main.conf file:
| Code: |
[General]
EnableNetworkConfiguration=true
[Network]
NameResolvingService=resolvconf |
I have a Broadcom wireless chipset:
| Code: | 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)
Subsystem: Lite-On Communications Inc Device 6645
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10
Memory at b3400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3
Capabilities: [58] Vendor Specific Information: Len=78 <?>
Capabilities: [48] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
Capabilities: [d0] Express Endpoint, IntMsgNum 0
Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting
Capabilities: [13c] Virtual Channel
Capabilities: [160] Device Serial Number 00-00-49-ff-ff-3b-d0-53
Capabilities: [16c] Power Budgeting <?>
|
and I installed the driver emerging
| Code: | | system-firmware/b43-firmware |
.
I hope this info is enough for you to help me out...
I do not want to mess with wpa_supplicant yet as I see there are quite a few configurations to set, and I would like to start with a package that I already know.

In the iwd-Gentoo wiki, it says that
| Quote: | | NetworkManager has been supporting iwd backend since version 1.12. |
.
So, I went ahead and installed NetworkManager with the "iwd" use flag in | Code: | | etc/portage/package.use/networkmanager. |
After that I enabled the iwd backend for WiFi devices as per upstream's instructions, through the /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/iwd.conf. like so:
| Code: | [device]
wifi.backend=iwd
wifi.iwd.autoconnect=yes
|
and restarted the Network Manager service like so:
| Code: | | rc-service NetworkManager restart |
.
Just like with iwd, I receive a warning:
| Code: | | * WARNING: NetworkManager is already starting |

If using distribution kernel, there are kernel configuration options that iwd needs, which are missing from the default config.
If you do not want to recompile kernel please stick to wpa_supplicant instead.
The kernel configuration options needed are - from iwd 2.17 ebuild which is current stable version:
| Code: |
CONFIG_CHECK="
~ASYMMETRIC_KEY_TYPE
~ASYMMETRIC_PUBLIC_KEY_SUBTYPE
~CFG80211
~CRYPTO_AES
~CRYPTO_CBC
~CRYPTO_CMAC
~CRYPTO_DES
~CRYPTO_ECB
~CRYPTO_HMAC
~CRYPTO_MD4
~CRYPTO_MD5
~CRYPTO_RSA
~CRYPTO_SHA1
~CRYPTO_SHA256
~CRYPTO_SHA512
~CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH
~CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER
~KEY_DH_OPERATIONS
~PKCS7_MESSAGE_PARSER
~RFKILL
~X509_CERTIFICATE_PARSER
|
IIRC, the following options are not enabled in default distribution kernels:
- CONFIG_CRYPTO_MD4
- CONFIG_CRYPTO_MD5
- CONFIG_PKCS7_MESSAGE_PARSER
- CONFIG_X509_CERTIFICATE_PARSER

Upon checking the driver for the Broadcom chipset through lspci -k, the chipset does not have any driver shown.
However, I know I installed the b43 / b43legacy driver through | Code: | | system-firmware/b43-firmware. |
The best driver for my chipset, though, which I use on other distributions and which works is wl which I could install through | Code: | | net-wireless/broadcom-sta |
,
which on Gentoo is in testing mode...I am thinking about installing it, despite being in testing, I don't know how to proceed... |

I can add those options and see if it works...but I have also the issue of the lack of a driver... |

Hello forum, after quite a few weeks, I found the time to go back to my laptop, and this time I managed to install the net-wireless/broadcom-sta which is needed by my Broacom chipset, which works with the wl drive.
| Code: | 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)

As previously suggested I am using wpa_supplicant to connect to the network, but when I run the comand:
it does not work, and I receive the following message:

In an old post as of October 2023 someone with the same issues recommended to run an older version of wpa_supplicant. So I tried to emerge--deselect the installed wpa_supplicant version but portage will not let it happen:
| Code: | | emerge --deselect wpa_supplicant-2.10r4 |
only to get from portage:
| Code: | | 'wpa_supplicant-2.10-r4' is not a valid package atom |
.
As a last resort I tried to modprobe wl:
| Code: | | modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) |
I may as well go buy a new laptop with no broadcom chipset, and be done with it, but if I manage to make it work through the forum's help I wil have learned something new.
Hope someone can help with this. |

Have you configured and started the wpa_supplicant service? It's what the wpa_cli talks to.

Hello Goverp,
and thank you for your support. I went ahead and managed to finally make the wl driver work, so I now see my wireless card, but only if I use IWD, it will not wrk with wpa_supplicant,
So, I am only using iwd, and followed the Gentoo wiki, but after starting the service, when I issue the comand iwctl it responds: | Code: | | Waiting for IWD to start... |
I stopped wpa_supplicant, and started IWD as per the wiki, but it seems it wants something more to run, or there is some other service conflicting.. |

That seems to mean that wpa_supplicant is not running, wpa_cli and wpa_gui are just clients to control it. Iif it is not running, there is nothing ot control.
If you use Openrc, wpa_supplicant is started as a service with /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant start (manually) or put normally in default run level with
rc_update add wpa_supplicant default
I guess you said you did it. But is it running or failed to start ? What does ps -ef | grep wpa_supplicant returns ?
And, is your user added to group wheel ? |

| This time I am using the GUI of wpa_supplicant. When scanning it sees different routers in the area, included mine. I try to connect to it, and of course i won't connect...maybe it is just a matter of wireless chip, mine just won't work...at this point I do not know what else to do...I have been on it for days, and I am not getting anywhere.... |

Maybe you will need the use-flag "tkip" for "wpa_supplicant" ?
(please read my post: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8835927.html#8835927 )

Ok that's better, but eth1 does not look like wireless device, are you sure it is not wired ? In your early ifconfig results I do not see eth1 as a network device at all. Can you run wpa_supplicant without -ieth1 option, and then chose adapter in wpa_cli or wpa_gui ? ( I do not have my laptop with me to check how it works, office desktop does not have wireless). |

Has it ever worked ? (maybe with Windows or other Linux distributions)
Does it work if you boot with our LiveGUI-CD?
If not: Does it work if you boot UbuntuLive?
Have you checked the settings on the router? -> Maybe its using very old WEP ? (then better change it instead using use-flag "wep")

Hello pietinger,
it works with Windows, with Arch through iwd, with Ubuntu, it does not with the Gentoo live CD. I tried to install iwd, following the Gentoo wiki, but when I send the command iwctl, it says: waiting for IWD to start... I see it as my last resort...
Running rc-status I see that iwd has crashed, so I stopped all running network services and only allowed iwd, still no luck..
here is the log from rc-status:
| Code: |
nrico@tux /var/log $ rc-status
Runlevel: default
chronyd [ started ]
dbus [ started ]
sysklogd [ started ]
iwd [ crashed ]
netmount [ started ]
switcheroo-control [ started ]
display-manager [ started ]
xdm [ started ]
local [ started ]
Dynamic Runlevel: hotplugged
Dynamic Runlevel: needed/wanted
dhcpcd [ started ]
display-manager-setup [ started ]
Dynamic Runlevel: manual
|
As you can see, iwd is still "crashed" and I cannot get it to initialize...maybe if we can get it to work, we have one more chance..maybe... |

Hello pietinger,
I tried once again to stop and restart the rc-service iwd, but this time I also started Networkmanager first.
I knew iwd would not let me down, and, as magic, iwctl worked and I was finally able to connect to my router, just as I did with Arch. I now have internet working, after days of trial and error...this was hard, believe me, I spent I do not know how many days researching and getting into the nitty gritty of the wireless world, starting with the driver for my card, which was a labour just to install it and make the driver be recognized by the kernel.
I am very happy, and I can now enjoy Gentoo on my laptop as well...
a big thank you for trying to help me out!  |
