|
After I upgrade gentoo, wifi doesn't work.
I have upgrade kernel from 3.5.7 to 3.9.0
I used the genkernel all to make boot image
the wireless card is RTL8191SEvB
dmesg shows:
rtl8192se: FW Power Save off (module option)
rtl8192se: Driver for Realtek RTL8192SE/RTL8191SE
Loading firmware rtlwifi/rtl8192sefw.bin
when i start wlan0, the error msg is as fellow:
* Bringing up interface wlan0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...
ioctl[SIOCSIWMODE]: Operation not supported
ioctl[SIOCGIWRANGE]: Operation not supported
ioctl[SIOCGIWMODE]: Operation not supported
ioctl[SIOCSIWAP]: Operation not supported

ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODE]: Operation not supported [ ok ]
* Starting wpa_cli on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Backgrounding ... ...
* WARNING: net.wlan0 has started, but is inactive
I have google this problem and also search the forum, but there isn't a solution for me..
anyone who know this? thanks |

Assuming you have the right kernel config, try using rfkill list and post the output.
If you do not have rfkill, emerge net-wireless/rfkill if you have some kind of internet connection. |
