 |
|
Hello,
I tried a different wlan card as I didnt get the NETGEAR WG5111U to work. Now I have a Prism54 based card (OvisLink WL-5400PCM).
It does work and I can scan for AP using
| Code: |
# ifconfig eth1 up
# iwlist eth1 scan
|
But I cant connect to my Router (NETGEAR WGT624 v3).
| Code: |
behemoth ~ # /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* Starting eth1
* Loading networking modules for eth1
* modules: wpa_supplicant essidnet iptunnel ifconfig dhcpcd apipa
* wpa_supplicant provides wireless
* ifconfig provides interface
* dhcpcd provides dhcp
* Starting wpa_supplicant on eth1 ...
wpa_driver_prism54_set_countermeasures - not yet implemented
* Waiting for association [ ok ]
* timed out [ !! ]
|
I am a bit confused about the "not implemented" message. Does wpa_supplicant not work with Prism54 based cards?
My /etc/conf.d/net looks like:
| Code: |
modules=( "dhcp" "wpa_supplicant" )
#************************** WLAN ************************
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth1="-t 10 -R"
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dprism54"
wpa_timeout_eth1=60
#*************************** LAN *************************
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10 -R"
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
|
This is my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
| Code: |
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="torgnet"
psk="***************" # i actually stored the passphrase here ;)
}
|
I also tried WEP and even a fully open access. But none worked.
Any ideas? |

Have you compiled prism54 driver in kernel? You have also install firmware for this card
| Code: | # eix prism
* net-wireless/prism54
Available versions: 20050125
Installed: none
Homepage: http://prism54.org/
Description: Driver for Intersil Prism GT / Prism Duette wireless chipsets
* net-wireless/prism54-firmware
Available versions: 1.0.4.3
Installed: 1.0.4.3
Homepage: http://www.prism54.org/
Description: Firmware for Intersil Prism GT / Prism Duette wireless chipsets |
Edit. Sorry you wrote that your card worked
My part of /etc/conf.d/net
| Code: | #modules=( "dhcpcd" )
modules=( "pump" )
###Wireless Tools
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )
dhcp_eth1="nodns nontp nonis release nosendhost" |
and /etc/conf.d/wireless
| Code: | essid_eth1="my_essid"
mode_eth1="Managed"
key_ela_lan="xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx enc open" |

Yes, I use the kernel drivers with firmware that i got from prism54.org.
The wireless tools provide only WEP encryption but not WPA-PSK, don't they? |

| Ok, I changed to WEP Encryption and wireless-tools. I found the net-wireless/wifi-radar package which is basically a GUI that helps configuring the card (and scans for networks and stuff), that did it for me. Thanks for your patience. |
