 Posted: Sun Feb 07, 2010 4:36 am Post subject: [Solved] looking for network advice |
 |
|
Hi,
I am trying to set up networking on my laptop. I have only wired connection. If I have the network cable unplugged KDE fails to start properly. I would like to install a network manager (such as knetworkmanager) to help manage wireless connections. But, I usually only connect to one of three networks. I am not sure what information is needed.
iwconfig:
| Code: |
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wmaster0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=0 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
sit0 no wireless extensions.
|
Forgive me, as I did not quite understand how to set up this file:
| Code: |
GNU nano 2.1.10 File: /etc/conf.d/net
# 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 :]!).
modules=( "iwconfig" )
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
essid_wlan0="joseph"
key_joseph="xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx"
essid_wlan0="ufw"
preferred_aps=( "joseph" "ufw" )
|
Any advice would be awesome.

Hi, can you post this :
| Code: |
# emerge --info
# rc-update show
# lspci -n
|
I suggest that you use WICD because it's stable enough and right now, are you using KDE 4.3.3 or KDE 3.x ?
Finally, what is the error when you say that KDE is not working properly ? |

Below are the outputs you requested. I am using KDE 4.3.3. I get no error message (that I know of). I get a log in screen followed by a black screen. Eventually I hear the KDE log in tone. If I press hot keys I have set up, I get what ever program I assigned to launch with that key combo. Once I close it ... black screen again.
I tried wicd; it wouldn't connect to my wireless access point. It would connect to my wired network though. But if I had the wire disconnected, I would get the same misbehavior of KDE. I unmerged wicd after a couple of days trying to get it to work. I am, however, willing to reinstall it if need be.
It might also help for me to mention that I installed ifplugd and I have a desktop widget that requires Internet connection.

Right now, can you post this :
| Code: |
# dmesg | grep -i ath
# cd /usr/src/linux && cat .config | grep -i ath
# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig
# iwlist scan
# dmesg | tail
|

When you used wicd, did run this command :
| Code: |
# rc-update add wicd boot

When I was using WICD , I tried running it from both the default and boot run level. As instructed in the WICD tutorial, I attempted to remove anything that might automatically bring up a connection without WICD. I could have been unsuccessful . In iwlist scan, my wlan0 interface should not return "interface doesn't support scanning," right?

Try scanning with your wireless card:
iwlist wlan0 scan
And then post dmesg if any new messages are printed. |

Scanning from the wireless card outputs this:
| Code: | | wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down |
I tried my wireless switch and still got the same output.
I did not notice any extra messages in dmesg |

cell 01 is mine. Should I retry WICD now? If so, will I need to run wlan0 up on boot, or is there an easy way to have this automatically at boot? |

cell 01 is mine. Should I retry WICD now? If so, will I need to run wlan0 up on boot, or is there an easy way to have this automatically at boot? |
Remote all the /etc/init.d/net.* . EXCEPT for the /etc/init.d/net.lo . Then add wicd to your default runlevel and try it. If memory serves me correctly, wicd uses wpa_supplicant which in turn automatically swithes the interface on en starts scanning. |

No luck there. This time, I lost wired connection too. KDE didn't crash this time though.
After validating the security key, WICD attempts to obtain an IP address. This goes on for as long as I care to watch it. |

Try using NetworkManager, I consider it a lot more stable though... |

| Maybe you had something inside /etc/init.d/wicd, are you sure that you run wicd at the boot level ? |
