Pretty much as the subject says.
It works with gentoo-sources-2.6.18-r6 and the rt61 driver from portage.
It fails with gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r5, and cvs rt61 driver from http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com (the one in portage does not compile with 2.6.19).
I cannot get a response from my dhcp server unless i start dhcpcd manually:
| Code: | /etc/init.d/net.ra0 start
* Service net.ra0 starting
Info, MAC address = 00:06:f4:0c:ca:f3
Debug, broadcasting DHCP_REQUEST for 192.168.0.10
Debug, timed out waiting for DHCP_ACK response
Debug, broadcasting DHCP_DISCOVER
Error, timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response [ !! ]
* ERROR: net.ra0 failed to start
|
| Code: | dhcpcd -t 10 -nd ra0
Info, MAC address = 00:06:f4:0c:ca:f3
Debug, broadcasting DHCP_REQUEST for 192.168.0.10
Debug, broadcastAddr option is missing in DHCP server response. Assuming 192.168.0.255

Info, your IP address = 192.168.0.10
Debug, orig hostname = gatekeeper

I've been trying to debug this myself, but cannot figure out where in /etc/init.d/net.* dhcpcd is started (I want to compare options passed to dhcpcd).
I've tried with "-t 60" (timeout 60 sec).
EDIT:
Might as well show you /etc/conf.d/wireless (which works when booting 2.6.18 and driver from portage):
| Code: | modules=( "iwconfig" )
preferred_aps=( "Nextender" )
config_Nextender=( "dhcp" )
dhcp_Nextender="nodns"
key_Nextender="1122334455 enc open"
#config_ra0=( "192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255" )
iwconfig_ra0="key 1122334455"
essid_ra0="Nextender"
channel_ra0="6"
dhcp_ra0="nontp"
dhcpcd_ra0="-t 10 -dn"
|
I need help debugging this!!!

I've managed to get this to work by looking at the configuration of other posts on this forum. The working /etc/conf.d/wireless now looks like (note especially the change in first line 'modules_ra0=( "!iwconfig" )':
| Code: | modules_ra0=( "!iwconfig" )
#preferred_aps=( "Nextender" )
#config_Nextender=( "dhcp" )
#dhcp_Nextender="nodns"
#key_Nextender="1122334455 enc open"
#config_ra0=( "192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255" )
config_ra0=( "dhcp" )
#iwconfig_ra0="key 1122334455"
#essid_ra0="Nextender"
#channel_ra0="6"
dhcp_ra0="nontp nodns"
dhcpcd_ra0="-t 10" |
The new driver must be using information from /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat (which hasn't been changed, was also there during kernel-2.6.18 and rt61 driver from portage)
Just in case you would still like to see the ouput during failure:
| Code: | RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="no" /etc/init.d/net.ra0 start --verbose
* Service net.ra0 starting
* Starting ra0
* Loading networking modules for ra0
* modules: apipa arping ccwgroup tuntap macchanger macnet rename iwconfig essidnet iptunnel iproute2 system dhcpcd ip6to4
* iwconfig provides wireless
* iproute2 provides interface
* dhcpcd provides dhcp
* Configuring ra0 for MAC address 00:06:F4:0C:CA:F3 ... [ ok ]
* Configuring wireless network for ra0
* Connecting to "Nextender" in managed mode (WEP enabled) ... [ ok ]
* ra0 connected to ESSID "Nextender"
* in managed mode on channel 6 (WEP enabled)
* Configuring ra0 for ESSID "Nextender" ... [ ok ]
* Bringing up ra0
* dhcp
* Running dhcpcd ...
Error, timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response [ !! ]
* ERROR: net.ra0 failed to start
|
And with the modified /etc/conf.d/wireless:
| Code: | RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="no" /etc/init.d/net.ra0 start --verbose
* Service net.ra0 starting
* Starting ra0
* Loading networking modules for ra0
* modules: apipa arping ccwgroup essidnet iptunnel tuntap macchanger macnet rename iproute2 system dhcpcd ip6to4
* iproute2 provides interface
* dhcpcd provides dhcp
* Configuring ra0 for ESSID "Nextender" ... [ ok ]
* Configuring ra0 for MAC address 00:06:F4:0C:CA:F3 ... [ ok ]
* Bringing up ra0
* dhcp
* Running dhcpcd ... [ ok ]
* ra0 received address 192.168.0.10/24
* Service net.ra0 started
|
I also captured dhcp udp dackages with wireshark. Only difference except the dhcp request nr, was in a field specified as reserved 0h00 0h00(when working) vs 0h80 0h00(when not).
According to my router log, the router never recieved the dhcp request when i tried to use /etc/init.d/net.ra0 with 'modules_ra0=( "iwconfig" )'.
Thanks for your help, I've noticed that you often help gentoo users on the forum. |
