 |
|
Hi people I've recently installed gentoo on my Inspiron 1520:
| Code: | uname -a
Linux YellowDeLL 2.6.25-gentoo-r7 #1 SMP Wed Aug 13 00:52:07 Local time zone must be set--see zic x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

This said I'm try, like everyone to get my wireless to work and finally got it. Besides, why do they keep changing the drivers for broadcom?? I sort of liked using ndiswrapper.... Anyway It is now working smoothly except for the little annoyance:
| Code: | /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart
* Stopping wlan0
* Bringing down wlan0
* Shutting down wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Stopping wpa_cli on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Stopping wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Starting wlan0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported [ ok ]th param 4 value 0x0 -
* Starting wpa_cli on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Backgrounding ...
|
Up to now my network discovery via wireless doesn't work. I have to rerun wpa_supplicant by hand like the following in order for it to work:
| Code: | | wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd |
I'd figure so far that it probably comes from a configuration file but wich??
Thanks for helping!

If you're talking about the b43 module, welcome to the club. That comes up because whoever is supposed to fix that hasn't felt it necessary to do so yet. And while they have improved the b43 module, I long for the kind of ndiswrapper support I received from 2.6.22.19.
I have been forced to use 43 on this machine because the windoze driver dislikes ndiswrapper and 2.6.26. On the old laptop, its PCMCIA 4318 connects like I was using 2.6.22.19. I have a choice of either having the best wireless I can run (ndiswrapper), or having headphones able to stop the sound from coming from the speakers. Hard choice, but I prefer to have working headphones. I'm thinking about making a frankenkernel, just to see if I can have the best of both worlds.
Blessed be!
Pappy

add (at least) the following lines to "/etc/conf.d/net":
| Code: |
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )

I got the same error, and I'm using rt61pci, not b43. The wireless works fine though.

| Does anyone have any idea what is causing this ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: error? I'm having the same problem in the above thread. I can't really find anything helpful on google about it. |
