 Posted: Fri Oct 14, 2011 2:01 pm Post subject: Missing drivers |
 |
|
Can anyone tell me what do I have to enable in my kernel to get my network working?
this is what lspci said about my ethernet connection and wireless
| Code: | 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. Device 2062 (rev c1)
02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co. , Ltd. Device 8176 (rev 01)
|
Im still googling for a solution that works but when I enable all the realtek drivers I find in genkernel using the menuconfig option, in the wireless network drivers the don't seem to be working because I do not have an eth0 or wlan0 interface and all I have is lo interface, can anybody help?[/code] |

is it possible to use the seeds from here?
http://kernel-seeds.org/seeds/64_bit/gentoo/
since they are for x86_64 and for kernel 3.0.6 for gentoo? would they be better to get my computer running? |

Ugh. Don't do that. Emerge wgetpaste and then you could just do | Code: | | lspci -n | wgetpaste |
This will return you a URL that you can use to retrieve the information on any computer.
Your driver is named rtl8192ce. Look for it in the kernel config. After you get that compiled in, follow the Handbook steps on Wireless Networking.
Pappy's Kernel Seeds are a great starting point but they don't contain any drivers; you still have to do the hard work.

| wait but i don't see realtek anywhere on the wpa_supplicant (correct me if I'm wrong) and that's the one I emerged, I already put rtl8192ce in the kernel as a module |

Looks like that drivers supports Linux Wireless Extensions, which means that -Dwext is the correct driver to specify in /etc/conf.d/net.

google for "gentoo network manager"
then visit the link "NetworkManager - Gentoo Linux Wiki"
note that you use either Network Manager or gentoo wireless networking; you do not use both at the same time

I already saw this page but it didn't say anything about editing the
nano /etc/conf.d/net
here's what I have
| Quote: |
modules="dhcpcd"
dns_servers="8.8.8.8 192.168.1.1"
modules_wlan0="wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
wpa_timeout_wlan0=15
iwconfig_wlan0_mode="Managed"
config_wlan0="dhcp nodns"
dhcpcd_wlan0="-t 10"
modules_eth0="ifconfig"
config_eth0="dhcp nodns"
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10" |

if I guess correctly that this comment reflects you using the gentoo handbook then the result will be gentoo wireless networking
| Quote: | modules="dhcpcd"
dns_servers="8.8.8.8 192.168.1.1"
modules_wlan0="wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
wpa_timeout_wlan0=15
iwconfig_wlan0_mode="Managed"
config_wlan0="dhcp nodns"
dhcpcd_wlan0="-t 10"
modules_eth0="ifconfig"
config_eth0="dhcp nodns"
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10" |
Is good for gentoo networking. It should be ignored for NetworkManager.

ok now this sounds interesting I took a look at dmesg and this is what I found
| Code: |
rtl8192ce 0000:02:00.0 PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) ->IRQ 17
rtlwifi:rtl_pci_probe():<0-0> Can't init_sw_vars
rtl8192ce 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A disabled |

from the chroot:
| Code: | grep -i atl1c /usr/src/linux/.config
grep -i rtl /usr/src/linux/.config
grep -i wext /usr/src/linux/.config |
What is the output?
also | Code: | grep -i NETDEVICES /usr/src/linux/.config
grep -i NETDEV_1000 /usr/src/linux/.config
grep -i PCI /usr/src/linux/.config
grep -i EXPERIMENTAL /usr/src/linux/.config
grep -i CRC32 /usr/src/linux/.config
grep -i MII /usr/src/linux/.config |
What is the output?

NeddySeagoon already answered you https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6842060.html#6842060
Why you don't care ?
And use a kernel seed if you wish or build your kernel config yourself, this is the same, genkernel is there to ease things for users, but generally complicated them a lot for users that try to help you (because most of us doesn't even really know how genkernel works and what it do. At least me). So people that use genkernel should be more able to help you, eheh, but that people that use genkernel use it because they don't really know what they are doing, and so, aren't really able to help you. |

run | Code: | | genkernel --menuconfig all |
When menuconfig dialog opens proceed as follows:
change
[*] Enable loadable module support --->
to
[ ] Enable loadable module support --->
then back to
[*] Enable loadable module support --->
then exit saving the new configuration
this will provide you a /usr/src/linux/.config which you can grep as above

I've the same wifi chipset:
| Code: | | 04:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8176 (rev 01) |
I have rtlwifi loaded (Linux kernel 3.0.6 -> DEVICE DRIVERS -> Network device support -> Wireless LAN -> Both Realtek Drivers selected (no time to check which is the one I need now).
But no wifi of course until this morning.
To get it working I just installed sys-kernel/linux-firmware, unload all network modules (espacially rtlwifi) and reload them, wlan0 appears after launching "iwconfig".
My network modules:
| Code: | rtl8192ce 72932 0
rtl8192c_common 56486 1 rtl8192ce
rtlwifi 91609 1 rtl8192ce |
Then "dmesg | grep rtl" it works:
| Code: | [ 7.100704] rtl8192ce 0000:04:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
[ 7.100714] rtl8192ce 0000:04:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
[ 7.142064] rtl8192ce:rtl92c_init_sw_vars():<0-0> Failed to request firmware!
[ 7.142068] rtlwifi:rtl_pci_probe():<0-0> Can't init_sw_vars.
[ 7.142085] rtl8192ce 0000:04:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
|
And same command after module loading:
| Code: | [ 4123.958311] rtl8192ce 0000:04:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
[ 4123.958330] rtl8192ce 0000:04:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
[ 4123.971573] ieee80211 phy1: Selected rate control algorithm 'rtl_rc'
[ 4123.972660] rtlwifi: wireless switch is on |
