hi,
somehow im working around my wlan connection now quite for a while ,
2 days ago i got it working could even remove eth0 link cable and run inet over wlan
but just after reboot everything was same and i got some new strange error while
no connection is working :
dmesg output (cant paste sry)
wlan0 (WE) : Driver using old /proc/net/wireless support, please fix driver!
rtl8180 : Bringing up iface
rtl8180 : Card succesfully reset
wlan0 : no ipv6 routers present
rtl8180 : EE: Phy writing 10 9d failed
>> so what to do now? opened file with nano but no clue about this , btw i tried to reemerge rtl8180 as well as wireless-tools didnt work so far.
please post all ya comments or ideas about the problem because it fucks me up with this wlan stuff under linux ... that sux specially after it worked for some hours untill reboot :O
if you need further information tell me?

| It asks you to fix a proper driver for the card, /proc is just a pseudo filesystem where you sometimes apply on-the-fly variables. |

hmm so far i cleaned everything from ieee80211, wireless-tools, rtl8180 driver included
| Code: | | emerge -C -v rtl8180 ieee80211 wireless-tools |
then i had to do some manual work to get the old driver install out of my box
strange, that rtl8180 driver appeared like that :/
afterwards cleaning every file from rtl8180 driver again by hand, uninstall doesnt work correct, lot of files remaining for that reading the emerge -C -v rtl8180 output and deleting all files again by hand
now cleaning all saved packages for complete new install
| Code: | cd /usr/portage/distfiles/
rm rtl8180-xxx.tar.gz |
| Code: | | nano /proc/net/wireless |
now it was clean again ok next step
| Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -v wireless-tools ieee80211 rtl8180 |
then normal
| Code: | ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid xxxx
iwconfig wlan0 enc yyyy
dmesg |
ok all fine now even missing ipv6 doesnt effekt anymore im fine, but ok now internet still not working last thing to do
| Code: | ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.26 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.0.1 |
but, everything from
i have to do still by hand each time i boot, any options to save it as a load script or something like this?
BUT IM FINE NOW SURFING OVER WIRELESS-LAN WITH MY GENTOO BOX YEHA
but thx 4 help , i finally got it by reading, reading and oh yeah trying an hmm reading lost some time but its working good night good fight |
