Posted: Sat Apr 25, 2009 10:10 pm Post subject: wlan connects irregulary

Hey there!

I've just equipped my pc with wlan and I've set it up using ndiswrapper. The driver is installed and everythings seems to be working, except: it only works sometimes. I'm trying to connect to a WPA/WPA2-Network via wpa_supplicant, but mostly it doesn't connect. Yet, very rarely, I am connected via wireless Lan and everything is working perfectly. I can shut down eth0, restart wlan0 and it still works - until I shut down my computer. The next time I reboot, wlan is gone again.
There seems to be no pattern, at all, and the wireless-card is working just fine under Vista.
Here is some information and my configs, too:

Code:

~ # ndiswrapper -l

# Prefer wpa_supplicant over wireless-tools

# It's important that we tell wpa_supplicant which driver we should

#wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -d"

#adhoc_essid_wlan0="LH043"
#channel_wlan0="3"

Here is /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Code:

# ====================== Interface ======================

fast_reauth=1

proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

}

I have to admit, I'm not very experienced in using wlan and setting it up via wpa_supplicant, so my configs may well be incorrect. Still, I've noticed a few things:
when I am connected and restart net.wlan0, dhcpcd is stopped. When I restart wlan0 when I can't establish a connection, dhcpcd isn't restarted on wlan0.

Using wpa_cli, I get this information:

Code:

<2>Trying to associate with 00:1b:2f:60:e7:20 (SSID='LH043' freq=2437 MHz)
<2>Authentication with 00:1b:2f:60:e7:20 timed out.

And finally: here is the the information about my network, using "iwlist wlan0 scan"

Code:

I quite happy furnish any more information required. Just tell me

Posted: Mon Apr 27, 2009 4:54 am Post subject:

you need to fix /etc/conf.d/net thusly

Code:

wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
#wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -d"

Anything after "-Dwext" causes failure.

Also, post /var/log/dmesg after you make the above changes.

Blessed be!
Pappy

I changed the lines in /etc/conf.d/net as you mentioned. No change so far.

Here is my /var/log/dmesg (is there an option for attaching a file to the thread?)

You will never get ndiswrapper running under a .24 kernel. The best support for ndiswrapper is in the .22 kernel family, next best .25. It doesn't matter the sources. Blessed be! Pappy _________________ This space left intentionally blank, except for these ASCII symbols.

I don't think ndiswrapper is the problem here. The driver is always installed and present and seems to be working just fine. What makes you think ndiswrapper is causing wlan0 to connect only sometimes? Regards ...

Let me put this clearly; the symbols that make ndiswrapper were removed from the kernel beginning with the .23 kernel, and were completely removed in .24. They were brought back for .25, lasted a bit through .27, and were again missing with .28 and .29 kernels. You can continue to mess with the .24 and hope for the best, but it ain't happening. Good luck. Blessed be! Pappy _________________ This space left intentionally blank, except for these ASCII symbols.
