 |

I have built-in kernel drivers and emerged many things like net-wireless/ipw3945 and wpa_supplicant. Here is some info:
| Code: | iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
|
| Code: | ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:D4:AF:BA:D8

What can I do?. If you need more info please ask. Thanks.

Hi, first you cannot use ipw3945 with a kernel higher then 2.6.23.
So, can you post your emerge --info.
Also, if you are welling to use the Iwl3945 driver, then I can help you to clean the ipw3945 driver. |

Thanks defenderBG, I notice I didn't have the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG on kernel 
Thanks for the info d2_racing I would really like you to help me clean my system from the ip3945 driver. I already emerged iwl3945.
yet wlan0 is not being found.
Oh, and here is emerge --info:

did you check it with iwconfig again? normaly the wireless interface is eth1, and can be set in udev to have another name(/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net), for example wlan0.
I will need the following info:
rmmod iwl3945
modprobe iwl3945
dmesg | tail
lsmod |

I have forgotten to ask you for lspci -vnn (the wireless card part only)
and grep /usr/scr/linux/.config | grep -i iwl
and... reemerged iwl3945-ucode and restart? |

Voila your problem :
| Code: |
Kernel modules: ipw3945, iwl3945
|
Can you post this plz :
If you have something, then :
| Code: |
# emerge -Cv ipw3945 ipw3945d ipw3945-ucode
|
Also, comment what you have inside for ipw3945:
| Code: |
# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
|
Reboot your box and post this :
| Code: |
# rmmod iwl3945
# modprobe iwl3945
# dmesg | tail
# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig
|

Can you post this :
| Code: |
# cd /usr/src && ls -la
|
Also, are you sure that you run this :
| Code: |
# make && make modules_install
|
It's very weird that the kernel doesn't see your module :

I work on 2 pcs, one is gentoo, the other is ubuntu (but I have no root there). anyway I try the stuff on the gentoo computer and then rewrite it per hand on the ubuntu (15,4 inch laptop vs 22inch pc).
it should be less /usr/scr/linux/.config | grep -i iwl and less /usr/scr/linux/.config | grep -i ipw. |

The first grep was waiting to see if the data on stdin matched the pattern /usr/scr/linux/.config. This is almost certainly not useful. The original command should have been grep -i iwl /usr/src/linux/.config.
defenderBG: why are you using less to read the file? Grep can read the file for itself. Also, sources are stored in /usr/src/linux, not /usr/scr/linux. |

Ok, sorry for the delay.

Hi, can you post this :
| Code: |
# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
|
It's insane you don't have iwl3945 module when you run lsmod ?
Can you check this :
| Code: |
# modprobe -l | grep -i iwl3945
|
You should have :
| Code: |
/lib/modules/2.6.26-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945.ko

Seems to be fine.
My /etc/conf.d/net has only this:
| Code: | # This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*

# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration

Shouldn't I put some "wlan0" info?
@defenderBG

Since we see that, can you run this :
| Code: |
# rmmod iwl3945
# modprobe iwl3945
# dmesg | tail
# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig
|
For the record, you should see a wlan0 interface and a wmaster0 interface.
Your /etc/conf.d/net should be like this :
| Code: |
#WPA_SUPPLICANT
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0_="-Dwext"
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
|
Also double check that you have wpa_supplicant package :
If not, run this :
| Code: |
# emerge -v net-wireless/wpa_supplicant
|
After that, can you tell me what encryption do you use with your wifi router ?
You will need to configure /etc/wpa/wpa_supplicant.conf to be able to connect to your router. |

This is an exemple of /etc/wpa/wpa_supplicant.conf
| Code: |
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ap_scan=0
#update_config=1
###### Configuration for WPA2 with encryption AES(CCMP) ######

This is the wep_key0=0123456789, 0123456789 represent the WEP key without any "", you don't need to had some "" when you configure your WEP key. |

Have you noticed the missing symbol complaints from iwl3945 upon module probing? No wonder lsmod won't find it, as it could not be loaded.
To me it looks like you don't have mac80211 compiled into your kernel, though your config states so. Did you copy your new arch/i386/boot/bzImage over to /boot after running make modules_install? |

Ok, Great News!
I installed the driver for 3945 and mac80211 as modules (not built-in).
Then did what d2_racing told me:
| Code: | # rmmod iwl3945
# modprobe iwl3945
# dmesg | tail
# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig |
And now I DO HAVE the wlan0 !!!!!!
Thank you people SO MUCH!
Now I'll try to connect. If I have some troubles I let you know.
Thanks again  |

Ok, Im back. I've just configure some files. Now how can I establish the connection?. My router use WPA
my /etc/conf.d/net
| Code: |
# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
# Prefer wpa_supplicant over iwconfig
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
#HOME
essid_wlan0="NETGEAR"
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_wlan0="-t 5" # Timeout after 5 seconds
#DEFAULT
preferred_aps=( "NETGEAR" )
|
My /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
| Code: |
# This is a network block that connects to any unsecured access point.
# We give it a low priority so any defined blocks are preferred.
############################################################################
# The below line not be changed otherwise we refuse to work
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
# Ensure that only root can read the WPA configuration
ctrl_interface_group=0
network={
ssid="NETGEAR"
psk="my_passwd"
priority=5
}
network={
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=-9999999
}

Hi, first your /etc/conf.d/net should be like this :
| Code: |
#WPA_SUPPLICANT
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0_="-Dwext"
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
|
You don't need this line :
| Code: |
essid_wlan0="NETGEAR"
#DEFAULT
preferred_aps=( "NETGEAR" )
|
Because it's wpa_supplicant that will handle the your prefered network.
Also, can you post this :
| Code: |
# cd /etc/init.d
# ls -la
|
I want to see if you have net.wlan0 inside this directory. |

Can you give us the spec that you see when you enter the config of your router ?
Like, are you using WPA + TKIP or WPA2 + TKIP or WPA2 + AES.
Finally, can you post this :
This will tell us if your wifi device will try to boot automagically
By the way, if you want to test your wifi connection, you can do this :
| Code: |
# rmmod iwl3945
# modprobe iwl3945
# dmesg | tail
# iwconfig
# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
# dmesg
|
With that we can help you with the rest. |
