 Posted: Wed Nov 01, 2006 11:01 pm Post subject: Problems Finding Access Point Using acx Driver [Solved] |
 |
|
I'm running an x86_64 gentoo box and I'm trying to get my wireless card to work.
I ran "emerge acx" and everything appeared to be OK. However, when I try to set the relevant network settings (manually) using ifconfig and iwconfig, it can't find the access point.
I'm running a self-patched vanilla kernel ( 2.6.18 ).
The network card has definitely been detected:
| Code: | $ lspci | grep ACX
05:02.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps Wireless Interface |
Here is the output from modinfo:
| Code: | # modinfo /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net/acx.ko
filename: /lib/modules/2.6.18-vs2.1.1-rc45-gentoo/net/acx.ko
license: Dual MPL/GPL
author: ACX100 Open Source Driver development team
description: Driver for TI ACX1xx based wireless cards (CardBus/PCI/USB)
vermagic: 2.6.18-vs2.1.1-rc45-gentoo SMP mod_unload gcc-4.1

dmesg shows no problems with acx, but I get the following errors for the associated device wlan0:
| Code: | $ dmesg | grep wlan0
[ 46.377317] acx v0.3.35: net device wlan0, driver compiled against wireless extensions 20 and Linux 2.6.18-vs2.1.1-rc45-gentoo

[ 71.594670] wlan0: association FAILED: peer sent response code 1 (Unspecified failure)
[ 74.096422] wlan0: association FAILED: peer sent response code 1 (Unspecified failure) |
I also tried setting the wireless information in kwifimanager, but a scan could not find any access points.

Hmm seems like the driver for your card is corrupt.
You said you are using a self patched kernel....
Have you patched some wireless things?
Maybe the error is there, because the error message
seems to me like the driver can not handle the response of the ap
and therefor can not associate with it.... |

I patched JMicron support using the patches mentioned here:
Roundup:Kernels with JMicron support (JMB363, 361, 360, 36x)
I also used most of the genpatches found here: http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/genpatches/patches-2.6.18-1.htm.
As far as I know, I didn't apply any wireless patches.
Here's the dmesg output for acx:
| Code: | philip@gentoo-philip ~ $ dmesg | grep acx
[ 45.630061] acx: this driver is still EXPERIMENTAL
[ 45.630063] acx: reading README file and/or Craig's HOWTO is recommended, visit http://acx100.sf.net in case of further questions/discussion
[ 45.630066] acx: compiled to use 32bit I/O access. I/O timing issues might occur, such as non-working firmware upload. Report them
[ 45.630464] acx: found ACX111-based wireless network card at 0000:05:02.0, irq:58, phymem1:0xFEAFE000, phymem2:0xFEAC0000, mem1:0xffffc20000068000, mem1_size:8192, mem2:0xffffc20000bc0000, mem2_size:131072
[ 46.377229] acx: form factor 0x01 ((mini-)PCI / CardBus), radio type 0x16 (Radia), EEPROM version 0x05, uploaded firmware 'Rev 2.3.1.31' (0x03010101)
[ 46.377317] acx v0.3.35: net device wlan0, driver compiled against wireless extensions 20 and Linux 2.6.18-vs2.1.1-rc45-gentoo
[ 46.377357] usbcore: registered new driver acx_usb |
I will try to reinstall the acx package and see if I get the same error.
