|
|
Hello Forum.
I am running into a problem very much like this particular thread:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-844925-highlight-centrino+ultimate.html
My machine boots quickly, X is brillian and the regular ethernet works fine.
I am however running into a brick wall trying to get the wireless card working.
Here is from my kernel:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-844925-highlight-centrino+ultimate.html
jdewberr-lnx dev # grep IWL /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_IWLWIFI=m
# CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TRACING is not set
# CONFIG_IWLWIFI_P2P is not set
# CONFIG_IWLWIFI_EXPERIMENTAL_MFP is not set
CONFIG_IWLEGACY=m
CONFIG_IWL4965=m
CONFIG_IWL3945=m
# CONFIG_IWLEGACY_DEBUG is not set
Here's the wireless NIC:
jdewberr-lnx dev # lspci | grep -i cent
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (rev 3e)
I am not too skilled at wpa_supplicant, I leverage wicd to get my WLAN circutis working for me. Any tips on wpa_supplicant configs would be grealy appreciated, I'm doing some googling and reading to get a basic wpa=psk wpa_supplicant.conf file cooked up.
I'm looking for tips and assistance in troubleshooting this one. I'm very much a Gentoo novice, but it flat out works better than anything else I've used and I don't want to run any of the *buntu distros.
Thanks in advance,
Joe |

run Code: | emerge linux-firmware pciutils
modprobe -r iwlwifi
modprobe iwlwifi
lspci -k | does the output show that your wireless card have a driver in use? _________________ Defund the FCC. |

you had emerged the firmware separately - thus the blockage - no problem
Code: | emerge wireless-tools
iwlist scan | says ? _________________ Defund the FCC. |

I am getting some success with wicd now. Basic WPA-PSK circuits work fine.
There's one SSID I need to get squared away. Oddly enough, it's peap-gtc and wicd won't save the criteria for the SSID.
Thanks for the help...it's going well so far!
