 Posted: Mon Aug 19, 2013 6:26 pm Post subject: no wireless connection_wpa_supplicant |
 |
|
Hello,
I just finished doing a "world" update and after rebooting wpa_supplicant would not connect to the wireless network. I remember having this same issue a few months back which turned out to be conflict between wpa_supplicant and libnl-3.2.2x, which I was able to solve by downgrading to "libnl-3.2.14". However, when I tried to do the same today, I got the following:
| Code: |
emerge =dev-libs/libnl-3.2.14
* IMPORTANT: 1 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news to read news items.
* IMPORTANT: config file '/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf' needs updating.
* See the CONFIGURATION FILES section of the emerge
* man page to learn how to update config files.
Calculating dependencies... done!
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=dev-libs/libnl-3.2.14".
|
I removed libnl-3.2.22 prior to attempting to downgrade to 3.2.14. Here is more info about my box:
| Code: |
ls -la /usr/bin/wpa_cli

Make sure your network devices are called as you think. Maybe an udev update has changed them. See:

hmm...here is the output:

I should point out that I'm currently chrooted via sysresuecd, not sure if that can affect the output.

| Yes, it affects (surely). Try boot your system. |

@quilosaq
Thanks for the suggestion, I did boot into my system and after running "ifconfig -a", the name for my wireless adapter is the same as the one shown above "wlan0". Would you happen to know the command to search if "libnl-3.2.14" is still available in the repositories? Thanks.

Does the line "registered as phy0" means that my "wlan0" has been renamed to "phy0"??

During a recent reboot, I noticed that my module "ath5k", which is needed by my wireless card is not being loaded.....despite the fact that it's in my /etc/conf.d/modules file. What's the command to make sure said module is loaded during boot? Thanks in advance.

Here is more info, I rebooted into my system and tried:
modprobe ath5k
modprobe ath
modprobe mac80211
and the following error came back "Could not insert 'ath5k': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown paramater". After digging around, I found out means that the modules trying to be loaded do not match the current kernel. I recompiled my kernel and after rebooting, all modules listed above loaded without any errors. However, wpa_supplicant is still not detecting my wireless adapter. All suggestions are welcome, thanks.

Here you go:
| Code: |
eth0 no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID: off/any
Mode:Managed Access point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off

Are you using file wpa_supplicant.conf in a right location. What say | Code: | | (root)# wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf |
? |

Oh wow, that did the trick. Wpa_supplicant started successfully, recognized my wireless card, however, it's not picking up an ip from the DHCPC server.....just hanging there waiting to receive an ip address....

Still trying to solve this issue. Now, I can get an ip from the dhcpc server by following these steps:
| Code: | wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhcpcd wlan0
|
Does this mean that my dhcpcd server is starting automatically when my machine boots up? Thanks.
