Hey, guys.

I've got a similar problem with Intel Wireless WiFi 5000AGN on x86_64 gentoo.

I've comiled 2.6.27-gentoo-r2 kernel with Intel 5000AGN support, emerged net-wireless/iwl5000-ucode. And I've got the folowing things:

Code:

dv5 define # ifconfig wlan0 up
dv5 define # dmesg | grep iwl
iwlagn: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux, 1.3.27k
iwlagn: Copyright(c) 2003-2008 Intel Corporation
iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
iwlagn: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100AGN REV=0x54
iwlagn: Tunable channels: 13 802.11bg, 24 802.11a channels
iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'iwl-agn-rs'
iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: restoring config space at offset 0x1 (was 0x100002, writing 0x100006)
firmware: requesting iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode
iwlagn: Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch

Code:

dv5 define # lspci -k | grep -A 1 -i network
02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Device 4237
Kernel driver in use: iwlagn

What's wrong?

I haven't seen this device working on 64 bits systems, thow on x86 it's working.

Can you check that your switch is on on your laptop ? Also, did you enable the rf switch inside the kernel. If so, disable it inside your kernel and recompile it.

The problem is that hw switch doesn't work.

Refering to this it shoud work just after compiling the kernel.

RF switch was enabled in my kernel. I've tried to disable it and recompile the kernel the result is the same.

Wireless LAN section of my .config is here:

Code:

# Wireless LAN
#
# CONFIG_WLAN_PRE80211 is not set
CONFIG_WLAN_80211=y
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_RAYCS is not set
# CONFIG_IPW2100 is not set
# CONFIG_IPW2200 is not set
# CONFIG_LIBERTAS is not set
# CONFIG_AIRO is not set
# CONFIG_HERMES is not set

# CONFIG_USB_NET_RNDIS_WLAN is not set
# CONFIG_RTL8180 is not set
# CONFIG_RTL8187 is not set
# CONFIG_ADM8211 is not set
# CONFIG_MAC80211_HWSIM is not set
# CONFIG_P54_COMMON is not set
# CONFIG_ATH5K is not set
# CONFIG_ATH9K is not set
CONFIG_IWLWIFI=y
CONFIG_IWLCORE=y
CONFIG_IWLWIFI_LEDS=y
CONFIG_IWLWIFI_RFKILL=n
# CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_IWLAGN=y
# CONFIG_IWLAGN_SPECTRUM_MEASUREMENT is not set
CONFIG_IWLAGN_LEDS=y
# CONFIG_IWL4965 is not set

# CONFIG_HOSTAP is not set
# CONFIG_B43 is not set
# CONFIG_B43LEGACY is not set
# CONFIG_ZD1211RW is not set
# CONFIG_RT2X00 is not set

And when I press WiFi button on my laptop I see in dmesg the following:

Code:

atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xf6 on isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e076 <keycode>' to make it known.
atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xe4 on isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e064 <keycode>' to make it known.

Hi, for your switch problem, make sure that you have disable this section :

Code:

(M) RF switch subsystem support
(M) Input layer to RF switch connector

You don't need this since your hardware swtich doesn't work on Linux.

Hi, since you have a iwl5000, you can remove this :

Code:

# emerge -Cv iwl4965-ucode

Hi, for the sake of this thread, can you create a new thread deF1NE

Hi, are you sure that your rf switch is not compile inside your kernel.

If so, disable it and retry this :

Code:

# rmmod iwlagn
# modprobe iwlagn
# dmesg | tail
# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig

Hi, what do you have :

Code:

# rc-update show
# cd /etc/init.d/ && ls-la

Do you have any entry about net.wlan0 ?

Hi, you need this to have a working Wifi :

Code:

# cd /etc/init.d
# ln -s net.lo net.wlan0

Also, can you post this :

Code:

# cat /etc/conf.d/net
# equery list wpa
# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Hi, first we need to tweak your /etc/conf.d/net like this :

Add theses lines :

Code:

#WPA_SUPPLICANT
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0_="-Dwext"
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )

After that, can you tell me about your wifi installation ? Do you use any encryption at all ?

If you use WPA2, then you can tweak my config :

Code:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ap_scan=0
#update_config=1

network={
ssid="your_SSID"
psk="your_PASSPHRASE"
proto=WPA2
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
priority=5
}

I've done that:

Code:

dv5 define # cat /etc/conf.d/net
# 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 :]!).

config_eth0=("dhcp")
routes_eth0=("default via 10.10.10.254")

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ap_scan=0
#update_config=1

network={
ssid="Wnet"
psk="Fuck%Them^All"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
priority=5

Hi, this config is inside /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="Wnet"
psk="Fuck%Them^All"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
priority=5
}

And inside /etc/conf.d/net, you need to have this :

Code:

config_eth0=("dhcp")
routes_eth0=("default via 10.10.10.254")
#WPA_SUPPLICANT
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0_="-Dwext"
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )

Sorry if you have miss understood.

After that, reboot your box and run this :

Code:

# su -
# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
# dmesg | tail
# iwconfig
# ifconfig -a

dv5 define #

There's still a string

Code:

iwlagn: Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch

in dmesg. And wireless doesn't work.

And should hw switch work in this situatuon? Or we've disabled it in the kernel and wlan0 interface can be up just with ifconfig wlan0 up?
