Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2009 11:58 pm Post subject: (SOLVED) Problems starting wlan at boot

I have troubles getting wlan up and running during boot. My config is as follows:

# cat /etc/conf.d/net

Code:

modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )

#wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Drt73"

config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )

# cat /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

# Let wpa_supplicant take care of scanning and AP selection
ap_scan=1

network={
ssid="myessid"
psk="mypassword"
# The higher the priority the sooner we are matched
priority=5
}

/etc/conf.d/rc

Code:

RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.eth0"

# rc-update show

Code:

ls -la /etc/init.d/

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Feb 18 14:50 net.eth0 -> net.lo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30696 Feb 18 14:50 net.lo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Feb 20 19:40 net.wlan0 -> net.lo

Your problem is that the wpa_supplicant doesn't have enough time to start.

You need to add this line inside /etc/conf.d/net :

Code:

wpa_timeout_wlan0=5

After a fresh reboot, can you post this :

Code:

# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig
# wpa_cli status

It appears to be briefly working but then I lose connection

Ok, we will try this :

Code:

# rc-update del net.wlan0

Reboot your box and post this when you are in your WM.

Code:

# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig
# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig
# wpa_cli status

Hi, can you post this :

Code:

# lspci -v

And for the record, I think that you need this line inside /etc/conf.d/net

Code:

wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Drt73usb"

Strangely enough that didn't work:

Edit:
I did use the rt73.bin from ralinks website and put it into the /lib/firmware folder.

# cat /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 :]!).
wpa_timeout_wlan0=5
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )

wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Drt73usb"

config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )

# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart

Code:

* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* Stopping wlan0
* Bringing down wlan0
* Stopping dhcpcd on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Shutting down wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Stopping wpa_cli on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Stopping wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Starting wlan0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...
Unsupported driver 'rt73usb'.

Thanks

This adapter worked out-of-the-box with Ubuntu and with module-assistant in Debian so I'm sure we can get it working in Gentoo.

Hi Ned, it's good to be back! (I spend some time in Debian/buntu land). I'll ditch the ralink driver from /lib/firmware and unmask gentoo-sources 2.6.28.

Aniruddha,

The 2.6.28 rt73usb module knows your device

Code:

ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp.

grepping the kernel shows

Code:

./drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt73usb.c: { USB_DEVICE(0x148f, 0x2573), USB_DEVICE_DATA(&rt73usb_ops) },

The kernel driver still needs the firmware (rt73.bin) in /lib/firmware and you also need firmware loading support in the kernel.

Aniruddha,

Code:

-*- Userspace firmware loading support

is the key one there, its forced on by another selection, which should be your rt73usb driver.

The problems appears to be in getting a dhcp lease from the router. I can scan for access points (indicating my driver is working). I can connect maually, but I can't get an ip adres:

# dhcpcd wlan0

Code:

wlan0: dhcpcd 4.0.7 starting
wlan0: waiting for carrier
wlan0: timed out

Do

Code:

/etc/init.d/net.wlan.0 restart

then look at the end of dmesg.
Post the wlan0 stuff please.

Aniruddha,

Code:

wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:0c:f6:3d:05:4e

Is that your access point or someone elses ?

As its trying to authenticate, it must have already associated.

Aniruddha,

Code:

wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:0c:f6:3d:05:4e

As its trying to authenticate, it must have already associated.

Weird, the wireless access point appears to have another mac address
