 |
|
Hi! I've been using ndiswrapper for years now, since I have a retarded Broadcom chipset. When I emerged -uD world this night, and I rebooted for another reason, all my stuff wasn't working any more.
I was using wpa_supplicant with ndiswrapper for months without a problem, but when I try to start it now, I get the following:
| Code: | veitbook veit # wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -D ndiswrapper
ioctl[SIOCSIWPMKSA]: No such device
|
and it hangs until I ctrl-c it...
Of course I usually use init-scripts but for debugging reasons I tried it manually.
Another thing I noticed is: when I use iwlist to verify that it's working, I get the following:
| Code: | veitbook veit # iwlist wlan0 scan
Warning: Driver for device wlan0 recommend version 18 of Wireless Extension,
but has been compiled with version 17, therefore some driver features
may not be available...
wlan0 Scan completed :
Cell 01 - Address: 00:09:5B:A3:EA:76
ESSID:"Nachtmann"
Protocol:IEEE 802.11g
Mode:Managed
Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11)
Quality:0/100 Signal level:-44 dBm Noise level:-256 dBm
Encryption key:on
#possible bitrates I cut out...
Extra:bcn_int=100
Extra:atim=0
Extra:wpa_ie=dd190050f24101030050f20201002050f20201000050f2020400 |
I am using the following versions:
sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_pre1-r1
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r6
net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.4.3-r1
net-wireless/ndiswrapper-1.2
I think I compiled the kernel first, then the baselayout, and then the rest.
Any ideas? I could also output /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start, but I think the problem is with the stuff above...

okay, I now applied the patch http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/iw_we18-5.diff, and recompiled the above mentioned stuff. Now I dont get that errors, instead it works doing it manually.
Now my problem is with the automagical start.
ah, nevermind, I solved it. The /etc/init.d/net.lo script got updated, but I had an old version because I hard-copied it...
Now everything works.
so: if it's not working for you either, get the patch mentioned above, replace the kernel-version in it with your own, and apply it to your kernel, recompile and /cheer |
