 Posted: Sat Jun 27, 2009 12:56 pm Post subject: Broken wireless networking |
 |
|
Hi!
I've a very strange problem.
I've installed Gentoo with Kernel 2.6.30-gentoo-r1. My Wifi-Card is an Intel WiFi 5350.
I am unable to connect 
As the error message said, I've tried with preferred_aps="MY.WLAN" and associate_order_wlan0="forcepreferred".
But this doesn't helped too.
So where could be the problem?
Connecting via console using wpa_supplicant manually works fine!

Is ifconfig config notation and won't help with wpa_supplicant.
In your wpa_supplicant.conf comment out everything in interface and ap scan, especially ap_scan=1. This might help.
You will now after publishing your psk have to create a new one. |

This didn't helped Same problem exist. It seems, that the gentoo scripts are not calling wpa_supplicant? |

Just realized you are using openrc. So /etc/conf.d/net should look like this and probably no more.
| Code: |
modules_wlan0=( "wpa_supplicant" )
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" ) |
Edit: Is the interface after migrating still wlan0? |

Yes, the interface is still wlan0. My config is imho correctly for openrc. I am unsure what to do now :/ |

| I would give this notation a try as it works for me. I know the migration guide says otherwise. |

2.6.30 and iwl-5xxx firmware 8.24.2.12 is very messed up. On my system, I get plenty of firmware errors. It was fine on 2.6.29

Well, I don't get them here. And as written. Using wpa_supplicant manually, it works fine! So the problem must be somewhere about the gentoo init scripts... I just don't get it, why wpa_supplicant is ignored? |

I don't use wpa_supplicant manually at all. I can't remember when I did last time.
Personally I use NetworkManager. The problems I'm talking about are:
| Code: |
[kernel] [ 40.902798] iwlagn 0000:0c:00.0: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x2000000.
