 |
|
Hi guys, another wireless problem here. Any input would be appreciated, and don't hold back on the RTFM!
Alright, so I have an Asus eeepc 701 with an Atheros AR5006EG PCI-E wireless card. I got the ath5k driver working with open wireless access, so I know this card works and my configuration is sound. My next task was WPA. I installed and configured wpa_supplicant using the following config file:
| Code: |
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wireless
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="hatnet-air"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
psk="somethinglongandcomplicated"
}
|
I went over my AP configuration with a fine-toothed comb. It is using WPA-PSK (not WPA2-PSK) with TKIP encryption. I get the following error from wpa_cli while trying to associate:
| Code: |
<2>Trying to associate with SSID 'hatnet-air'
<2>Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out.
|
Now, if I don't do ifconfig wlan0 up before starting wpa_supplicant up, I get errors in dmesg like this:
| Code: |
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
|
But other than that, dmesg is spotless, so I know it isn't crazy atheros HAL failures or ath5k crashing on me. So now I'm stumped. I've tried several configuration alternatives, including just setting up the network in wpa_cli, but no joy. wpa_supplicant seems pleased to just loop through the authentication procedure, failing continually.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
D |

Hi, can your reboot your box and post this plz :
| Code: |
# emerge --info
# lspci -v
# lsmod
# cat /etc/conf.d/net
# cd /etc/init.d/ && ls -la
# ifconfig wlan0 up
# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig
# iwlist scan
|
With that, we will be able to find what is going on with your Wifi  |

Hi, first I would like to know what software do you use, network manager or something else ?
| Code: |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Jan 21 02:11 net.eth0 -> net.lo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30696 Jan 21 02:11 net.lo
|
If you want to use the manual way just to get your Wifi working, then you need to run this :
| Code: |
# cd /etc/init.d
# ln -sfn net.lo net.wlan0
|
After that, your /etc/conf.d/net should be like this :
| Code: |
dns_domain_lo="homenetwork"
config_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_eth0="-N"
#WPA_SUPPLICANT
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )

After doing this, can you reboot your box and post this :
| Code: |
# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig
# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
Wait 30 secs
# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig
# wpa_cli status
# ping -c 3 www.google.com

By the way, I would like to know what you do with your box :
| Code: |
CBUILD="i486-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-Os -mtune=i686 -pipe"
CHOST="i486-pc-linux-gnu"
|
Does this box is use to produce some LiveCD or something ? |

Also, right now does your router is using the WPA encryption ?
| Code: |
Cell 01 - Address: 00:13:46:6F:D8:DB
ESSID:"hatnet-air"
Mode:Master
Channel:1
Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1)
Quality=31/100 Signal level:-77 dBm Noise level=-97 dBm
Encryption key:off
Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s
12 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s
48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s
Extra:tsf=000000001b6d4388

Because for what I see, it doesn't. |

Well, the idea here is to make as minimal a Gentoo installation as possible. I had intended to complete the configuration of all the network related stuff after I got everything tested and working. So right now, I'm using ifconfig and iwconfig and dhcpcd to manage my networking As such, I've done very very little work on /etc/conf.d/net
Right now, I have my router configured for open access (no wep, no wpa) to make it easier to do the installation on the laptop. I decided to get the window manager and shiny bits done while we figured out the WPA problem.
That said, in order to get wireless working, I start the machine up and enter the following commands:
| Code: |
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid "hatnet-air"
dhcpcd wlan0
|
So I know my wireless adapter works and associates. I am almost positive that wpa_supplicant, or my ignorance of it, is the problem.
In order to invoke wpa_supplicant, I use the following command (lacking complete configuration files):
| Code: |
wpa_supplicant -d -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 -Dwext
|
From there, I can use wpa_cli to mess with the configuration (since I have yet to write a wpa_supplicant.conf that works).
That all said, I thank you for your help and commend you on your perceptiveness and diligence.

Ok, for your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf :
| Code: |
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ap_scan=0
#update_config=1
network={
ssid="hatnet-air"
key_mgmt=NONE
}
|
With that, you will be able to connect to your unencrypted AP.
For that, just run this :
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
# iwconfig
# ifconfig -a
# wpa_cli status
|
