 Posted: Wed Apr 15, 2009 4:29 pm Post subject: wireless gone away [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I have a Vaio which has been happily working the last couple of years, so long that I can't remember how I set it up. I've just been through the xorg update, and finally got that working, but after that I ran emerge --depclean. I didn't notice that depclean was about to remove libstdcc and ended up having to remerge gcc. After all that everything now works except that my wireless has gone away and I don't know how to get it back. Ethernet is fine.
| Code: | goofy # /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
* Starting eth1
* Configuration not set for eth1 - assuming DHCP
* Bringing up eth1
* dhcp
* network interface eth1 does not exist
* Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver) [ !! ] |
OK, so seems to be driver. Which? lspci gives:
| Code: | | 06:0a.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05) |
recompiled and installed ipw2200 module
| Code: | goofy # modprobe ipw2200
FATAL: Error inserting ipw2200 (/lib/modules/2.6.24-gentoo-r8/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
|
dmesg:
| Code: | ipw2200: disagrees about version of symbol dump_stack
ipw2200: Unknown symbol dump_stack |
Where do I go from here?
Thanks anyone...
Graham

| After recompile did you run update-modules? Also check to make sure you are building for the correct kernel version. You may also have to recompile your kernel if the sources were cleaned. |

| I did a 'make clean', followed by 'make && make modules-install', in the current /usr/src/linux, checking from the date on ipw2000.ko that it had been updated. Do I need to do 'modules-update' too if I've made clean first? |

Hi, can you post this :
| Code: |
# lsmod
# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig
# cd /usr/src/linux && cat .config | grep -i ipw

Can you post this :
| Code: |
# cd /usr/src/linux && cat .config | grep -i 802
|
If you ipw2200 works, then you will have eth1 at least.

| did you recompile your kernel after modifying your kernel ^ |

make clean only does so much. The best thing to do is to move the .config out of the source directory in question, issue a make mrproper, move the .config back, and run make && make modules_install. If the problem remains, you will have to remove the /lib/modules/<offending_version> where <offending_version> is the kernel version with which you're having issues. Once done, do another make modules_install in the source directory in question. This will refresh the modules for the kernel version, and eliminate the error.
Blessed be!

When you will have a good kernel, then post this plz :
| Code: |
# lsmod
# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig
|
If your kernel is good, then you will see eth1 and iwconfig will return something too  |

Thanks Pappy, mrproper did the trick. Not entirely sure why but all up and working again...

Cool. Old stale object code can hang around the source, and become part of the newly compiled kernel and its modules. make mrproper deletes all that, and returns the source to a pristine condition. No stale object files, no freaky errors.
Blessed be!
