 |
|
Hello i have an Acer Aspire One used to run windows XP now has Gentoo KDE 4. The problem i am having is with the Atheros wireless card inside the laptop. I know it works but i can't get it configured to Gentoo. Hense i can't use the wireless. Any sugguestions would be greatful!  (i am kind of new to the whole Gentoo thing so please use Lamons terms because i don't know all the lingo.  ) |

Thejackel,
Welcome to Gentoo. You don't have the same problem as the original poster in the thread you posted to so are better off with a new thread.
First, which wifi adapter does your system have?
My Acer One, originally with Linpus Linux, has a ath5k card.
I use it with WPA2 encryption but at the moment, it does have issues. So we get started on the right foot, post the output of lspci on your netbook, so we can determine its wireless card.
What sort of encryption do you want to use, if any?
Can you disable encryption completely for testing, or is the AP not under your control?

Hello,
I have a working Acer Aspire One A110 (with a disk driver), and WiFi works fine.
You have to compile ath5k kernel module, and install your favorite network manager (e.g. wicd).
Ah, and to avoid some disconnection problems, you need to run that script at startup
| /etc/local.d/01-acer-hack.start: |
#enable ASPM
/usr/local/sbin/enable-aspm
|
| /usr/local/sbin/enable-aspm: | #!/bin/bash

# OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS SOFTWARE.
# ASPM Tuning script
#
# This script lets you enable ASPM on your devices in case your BIOS
# does not have it enabled for some reason. If your BIOS does not have
# it enabled it is usually for a good reason so you should only use this if
# you know what you are doing. Typically you would only need to enable
# ASPM manually when doing development and using a card that typically
# is not present on a laptop, or using the cardbus slot. The BIOS typically
# disables ASPM for foreign cards and on the cardbus slot. Check also
# if you may need to do other things than what is below on your vendor
# documentation.
#
# To use this script You will need for now to at least query your device
# PCI endpoint and root complex addresses using the convention output by
# lspci: [<bus>]:[<slot>].[<func>]
#
# For example:
#
# 03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9300 Wireless LAN adaptor (rev 01
# 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 2 (rev 03)
#
# The root complex for the endpoint can be found using lspci -t
#
# For more details refer to:
#
# http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/ASPM
# You just need to modify these three values:
ROOT_COMPLEX="00:1c.2"
ENDPOINT="03:00.0"
# We'll only enable the last 2 bits by using a mask
# of :3 to setpci, this will ensure we keep the existing
# values on the byte.
#
# Hex Binary Meaning
# -------------------------
# 0 0b00 L0 only
# 1 0b01 L0s only
# 2 0b10 L1 only
# 3 0b11 L1 and L0s

Thejackel,
You need the ath5k kernel module then. Its best to make it as a module too, as that allows it to be unloaded and reloaded to help with debugging.
In make menuconfig set the following options. If you used genkernel to make your kernel, you need to run it with the --menucofig option
Under | Code: | [*] Networking support --->
-*- Wireless ---> |
you need something like | Code: | │ │ --- Wireless │ │
│ │ <M> cfg80211 - wireless configuration API │ │
│ │ [ ] nl80211 testmode command │ │
│ │ [ ] enable developer warnings │ │
│ │ [ ] cfg80211 regulatory debugging │ │
│ │ [ ] enable powersave by default │ │
│ │ [*] use statically compiled regulatory rules database │ │
│ │ [*] cfg80211 wireless extensions compatibility │ │
│ │ [*] Wireless extensions sysfs files (NEW) │ │
│ │ < > Common routines for IEEE802.11 drivers │ │
│ │ <M> Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211) │ │
│ │ [ ] PID controller based rate control algorithm │ │
│ │ [*] Minstrel │ │
│ │ [*] Minstrel 802.11n support │ │
│ │ Default rate control algorithm (Minstrel) ---> │ │
│ │ [ ] Enable mac80211 mesh networking (pre-802.11s) support │ │
│ │ [*] Enable LED triggers │ │
│ │ [ ] Select mac80211 debugging features ---> |
Its important that anything to do with Power Saving and Debugging are off for now.
You can add Powersave when it works without it.
| Code: | Under [*] Network device support --->
[*] Wireless LAN ---> <M> Atheros Wireless Cards ---> |
choose
| Code: | --- Atheros Wireless Cards │ │
│ │ [ ] Atheros wireless debugging (NEW) │ │
│ │ <M> Atheros 5xxx wireless cards support │ │
│ │ [ ] Atheros 5xxx debugging (NEW) │ │
│ │ -*- Atheros 5xxx PCI bus support │ │
│ │ < > Atheros 802.11n wireless cards support (NEW) │ │
│ │ < > Atheros HTC based wireless cards support (NEW) │ │
│ │ < > Atheros AR9170 802.11n USB support (OBSOLETE) (NEW) │ │
│ │ < > Linux Community AR9170 802.11n USB support (NEW) |
Save your changes, now rebuild and reinstall your kernel and reboot into the new kernel.
After the reboot, run and check the date/time shown. Thats the date and time that the running kernel was made.
If you are running the wrong kernel, little of what follows will work.
Look in do you have a wlan0 ?
If not, do and check again.
If its still missing, any error messages on the screen or at the end of would be useful to know.
For WEP or unencrypted wireless, you may use wireless tools. So | Code: | | emerge wireless-tools |
and see the Gentoo Handbook
You will need to create a net.wlan0 symbolic link to be able to start your wireless.
| Code: | cd /etc/init.d
ln -s net.lo net.wlan0 |
If you have got here and everything looks good then | Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start |
should start your wireless.
WARNING: If it works, you may loose network connectivity competely. This is because you will have both wired and wireless networking in the same subnet.
To test, stop wired networking | Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop |
There is more to do to automate things but make it work first, make it better later.
Post any errors you get.

If you use suspend (to ram or to disk), don't forget to black-list the wifi module, so that it will be reset at resume: add ath5k to /etc/hibernate/blacklisted-modules

Thejackel,
Once it works manually, adding a pretty GUI to automate it is trivial. If its never worked and you try to use the GUI before that time, you just have a bigger problem space to search.

Thejackel,
Follow my post above. Its enough to get you going and is correct for your | Code: | | 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) |
Other posters have helped with automation and pretty Graphical User Interfaces.
Nothing will work until your kernel can find your wireless card, so thats your first step.

| The Atheros card i got to work. Only problem is it connects to the wireless WPA2 personal network or should i say acts like it then fails. Any idea's? It picks up signal from other networks including my own when i try to find a network. But when i try to connect to my own it trys acts like its connecting then fails. Oh and almost forgot. When i boot BackTrack off USB the wireless Atheros card works like a charm! No problems what so ever, If that helps any... |

Thejackel,
Now we come to configuration issues.
If you want to use WPA2, you need wpa_supplicant as wireless-tools does not support WPA2.
You can usecommands to associate with your access point then will get you an IP address after you have associated.
If you want to know what to put in /etc/conf.d/net for your wlan0, see the handbook chapter I linked previously.

| okay, We tried what you said to do. No go, We've also tried other network cards, Still same problem, After putting the Athero's card back in and bringing everything back to where we were at. I decided to see if i could even connect to WEP or Unsecure networks. Both like the WPA2 network act like they are going to connect but then fail. |

Thejackel,
There is nothing automatic yet.
What does show?
If it complains about no wireless extensions, do and try again.
Now you should be able to do | Code: | iwconfig wlan0 essid "Your ESSID"
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
iwconfig wlan0 ap <Your AP MAC Addr> |
At this point dmesg should show your wireless is associated with your AP. This assumes encryption off.
If all it well will get you an IP address.
Post the output of at the end of that sequence and any error messages you get along the way.

I am the guy that is working on his laptop. I have been working on Gentoo for many years. Sadly I do not know much about wireless because I rarely have put Gentoo on a laptop.
The drivers are working perfectly. I found out last night that ASPM was disabled. I tried the script that was mentioned earlier but it crashed every time. I thought that maybe it is because the module is in the kernel, but when i make it into a loadable module there is an error at boot and everything locks. Says something about modprobe. I can't remember what. I found on another forum that using the kernel argument 'enable_aspm=force.' After using that argument, 'lspci -vvv' shows that it is enabled.
I did actually get it to connect to and receive an ip address from my WPA2 encrypted network. I commented out a setting in the NetworkManager service's conf file. I was actually able to get to google, but by the time I went to search I was already disconnected.
The symptoms are as follows:
Connects to network.
Tries to receive IP.
Disconnects (deauthenticated local reason=3).
The card never actually receives an IP. I had put my broadcom 4311 m-PCIe card into it running the b43 driver. It still had the same issues that the Atheros card does. |

| No one has any ideas? Not trying to be rude here but. Doesn't seem like anythings really working. Are we not doing something right? |

| Should we just reinstall the whole process over again? Its been week four of the problem, Its ether reinstall Gentoo with KDE4 Or go to another Distro, BackTrack seems to work great on it. Any help would be Greatful, But after weeks of Research on the AR5001 card i don't see a clear Salution to the problem with the wireless card, It see's networks then try to connect and fails, as you all know by now after reading the posts. Everything so far tried and mentioned has not worked. Unless we are doing something wrong. |
