PostPosted: Tue Mar 03, 2009 2:31 am    Post subject: Wireless Problem, plz help [SOLVED] Reply with quote

Hi all, I really know that all of you are tired of hearing this problem, but I really try to do everything I read on every forum thath talks about this issue, but I cant have my wireless work for me.

My wireless card is an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG

08:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02)

My kernel version is 2.6.27-gentoo-r8 and I use gentoo-sources.

Somewhere i read that to install this wireless card, i have to emerge this packages:

net-wireless/ieee80211
sys-apps/baselayout
app-shells/bash
net-wireless/wireless-tools
net-wireless/ipw3945
net-wireless/ipw3945d
net-wireless/ipw3945-ucode

The only two packages that I cant install is the ieee80211 and ipw3945, he others emerges just fine.

When I try to emerge ieee80211 I get this:

Code:

*   ieee80211-1.1.13 requires support for Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio) & Wireless Extensions (CONFIG_NET_RADIO).
*   ieee80211-1.1.13 requires the in-kernel version of the IEEE802.11 subsystem to be disabled (CONFIG_IEEE80211)


The problem here is that the Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio) option doesnt exists, I have read that this option is no longer on kernels up to 2.6.13, so I dont know wath to do.
Other thing that I try was removing the ieee80211.h but nothing works.

In the other hand, when I try to emerge ipw3945 I get this:

Code:

/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ipw3945-1.2.2-r1/work/ipw3945-1.2.2/ipw3945.c:4457: error: implicit declaration of function 'ieee80211_tx_frame'
make[2]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ipw3945-1.2.2-r1/work/ipw3945-1.2.2/ipw3945.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/var/tmp/portage/net-wireless/ipw3945-1.2.2-r1/work/ipw3945-1.2.2] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r8'
make: *** [modules] Error 2


please I need help, I have read everything related to this topic, but nothing seems to work, I apologize if is my bad, but I will appreciate all the help you can gave. thks!

P.D.
Another extra info if matters is:

- I use gnome
- when i run ifconfig i get this:

Code:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:17:a4:d5:f3:ae 
          inet addr:192.168.1.3  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

Hi, first you need to run this :

Code:

# emerge Cv net-wireless/ipw3945
# emerge Cv net-wireless/ipw3945d
# emerge Cv net-wireless/ipw3945-ucode


This method of ipw3945 was use 3 years ago :P

You need to configure your kernel so it use the iwl3945 driver.

Also, you need to install this :

Code:

# emerge -av iwl3945-ucode


Also, can you post this :

Code:

# lsmod
# cat /etc/conf.d/net
# ifconfig -a

thanks d2_racing, I do all those emerge things, and seems to work now, this is what I get on those things you ask:

- lsmod

Code:

intelfb                37540  0
i2c_algo_bit            5252  1 intelfb


- 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

- ifconfig -a

In fact, you need to configure your Wifi connection.

So, can you post that plz :

Code:

# iwlist scan


You will install WPA_Supplicant so that you will be able to configure your Wifi connection.
Code:

# emerge -av wpa_supplicant

Your /etc/conf.d/net should be like this :

Code:

#WPA_SUPPLICANT
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )


And you need to make sure that you have this :

Code:

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


Can you post :
Code:

# rc-update show

Also, what encryption your router is using ?

Your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf should be like that at least :

Code:

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

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


This is an example of WPA2, so if you use something else, I can help you with that too.

Here is all i get:

iwlist scan

Code:

lo        Interface doesn't support scanning.

sit0      Interface doesn't support scanning.

eth0      Interface doesn't support scanning.

wmaster0  Interface doesn't support scanning.

wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down


then i emerge wpa_supplicant, but my /etc/conf.d/net doesnt match with yours, so i add all those things, and now my net file seems like this:

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_SUPPLICANT
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )


then i do:

Code:

cd /etc/conf.d/net
rm net.wlan0
ln -s net-lo net.wlan0


and when i do rc-update show i get this:

Code:

             alsasound | boot                         
      avahi-dnsconfd |      default                 
            bootmisc | boot

          localmount | boot                         
             modules | boot                         
            net.eth0 |      default                 
              net.lo | boot                         
            netmount |      default                 
           rmnologin | boot                         
           syslog-ng |      default                 
             urandom | boot                         
          vixie-cron |      default                 
                 xdm |      default

It's normal. your Wifi connection doesn't start automagically :P

Ok, can you post this :

Code:

# cat /etc/conf.d/net
# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
# dmesg | grep -i iwl3945
# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig


And now, this :P

Code:

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

Here i have a doubt, why my ESSID is "", instead of "TURBONETT"??

Then i got this error, i don't have the net.wlan0 file! :(

/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start


Code:

bash: /etc/init.d/net.wlan0: No such file or directory



wpa_cli status


Code:

Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: Success



I just put this two, because all the ifconfig and iwconfig commands shows me the same.

Also, are you sure that your Wifi switch is enable on your laptop ?

Code:

[  233.668568] iwl3945: Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch


Also, can you post this :

Code:

# cd /usr/src/linux
# cat .config | grep -i iwl
# cat .config | grep -i kill

d2_racing!!!!! Men! Ur the best!!! thanks for all, really! Thanks for your time and for helping me out!

I don't know what the error was, because when i try to do the ln -s net.lo net.wlan0, it saids that the link was already created, but when i try to start the /etc/init.d/net.wlan0, it saids that the command was not valid, so the only thing i do, was remove the link, i try it again

Code:

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


and the wireless led starts to toogle, and now i have wireless!!, i really apreciate all your help men, really.

If you want, i can post any result if you want, but the only thing i know rigth now, is that finally i have wireless :D:D:D

tnks for all!
