 Posted: Fri Aug 27, 2004 9:04 pm Post subject: Aironet issues when upgrading to 2.6.8 |
 |
|
Hello,
I'm running 2.6.8-gentoo-r1 (just upgraded from 2.6.1) and my aironet card stopped working.
Upon insert, the card's modules were loaded, and an ifconfig can bring up the interface, however, it would not associate with any networks or send any data.
I recompiled pcmcia-cs and module-init-tools, just to see if that would make any difference, and it doesn't.
I thought maybe disabling pcmcia support in the kernel and re-compiling pcmcia-cs would help, but I forgot that it no longer works with the 2.6.x setup. I recompiled my kernel with pcmcia support, and when I do a "make modules" to compile my aironet (and other 802.11) drivers I get:
| Code: | eightytoo linux # make modules
make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
Building modules, stage 2.

Ok, I just compiled with a vanilla 2.6 kernel (2.6.9-rc1), and I'm having the same problems (compiles fine, loads fine, won't connect to network).
Just some added fyi. |

Got the aironet 350 working with 2.6.9-gentoo-r4 on my Thinkpad T21. I just had to type
| Code: | | iwconfig eth1 essid cosmos |
Where cosmos my essid. Not using any encryption or LEAP. For some reason I never had to type anything under 2.4, it would just automatically connect.
Also of note: before doing this I fiddled with some BIOS settings, changing the PCI IRQ's to auto-select and turning off PCI power management. Not sure if this had any effect, as I'm leaving them changed for now to try and get power management working correctly.

Same thing here. I have to specify an essid for my airo350 card under 2.6.9-ck1.
Make sure your baselayout and all is up-to-date and you can put essids in /etc/conf.d/wireless and they'll be sourced by /etc/init.d/net.ethX when it runs for a wireless iface.
