|
I just compiled kernel version 3.7.3 ( was using version 3.2 prior) and now my wireless connection is not working. I'm using an "atheros" card. When i was running kernel 3.2, i had the driver "ath5k" compiled as module.....when I upgraded to version 3.7 i compiled it built in. Any ideas? Thanks. _________________ Gigabyte MA790X-UD4P Motherboard

I went back and recompiled it as Module. "lspci -k" confirms that the kernel driver in use is "ath5k", but still wpa gives error message "failed to initiate ap scanning". Running "iwlist scan" comes back with "wlan0 does not support scanning"..... _________________ Gigabyte MA790X-UD4P Motherboard

I also added the following to my /etc/conf.d/modules

A few days ago, i had a similar issue with wpa and it turned out that "libnl-3.2.19" was causing issues. After some digging, i found out that version 3.2.14 works and proceeded to downgrade. That solved the issue then. I checked and I guess during a recent world update, version 3.2.19 was pulled, so went ahead removed it and installed version 3.2.14 and rebooted. Now wpa is not even seeing my wlan0......i also get an error about "failing to load modules" during boot up. How would I check that my modules are being loaded during boot? Thanks. _________________ Gigabyte MA790X-UD4P Motherboard

I"m getting "error loading /etc/init.d/conf.d/modules" "modules failed to start".....what is the correct syntax to have the ath5k module load up during boot?
I added the following line to /etc/conf./modules
modules_3.7.3="ath5k" _________________ Gigabyte MA790X-UD4P Motherboard

snakeo2,
This is my module line on this laptop. I don't filter for kernel version because I only boot one.
modules="vboxdrv vboxnetflt vboxnetadp i8k"
It shouldn't be necessary to load the network module in conf.d/modules.
Does dmesg provide any clues and can you modprobe ath5k
Does modprobe --show-depends ath5k list the dependencies _________________ Good luck

I made changes to my conf.d/modules files as you suggested and still same result.
Code: |
cat /etc/conf.d/modules
# You can define a list modules for a specific kernel version,
# a released kernel version, a main kernel version or just a list.
# The most specific versioned variable will take precedence.
#modules_2_6_23_gentoo_r5="ieee1394 ohci1394"
#modules_2_6_23="tun ieee1394"
#modules_2_6="tun"
#modules_2="ipv6"
#modules="ohci1394"
# You can give modules a different name when they load - the new name
# will also be used to pick arguments below.
#modules="dummy:dummy1"
# Give the modules some arguments if needed, per version if necessary.
# Again, the most specific versioned variable will take precedence.
#module_ieee1394_args="debug"
#module_ieee1394_args_2_6_23_gentoo_r5="debug2"
#module_ieee1394_args_2_6_23="debug3"
#module_ieee1394_args_2_6="debug4"
#module_ieee1394_args_2="debug5"
# You should consult your kernel documentation and configuration
# for a list of modules and their options.
modules"ath5k mac80211"

snakeo2,
You left out the "="
It should be: modules="ath5k mac80211" _________________ Good luck

Thanks for the tip. I fixed that typo and now during boot the "failed to load modules" error went away, but still no wireless internet. Still getting the same "failed to initiate AP Scan". Will keep digging around see what I can come up with. _________________ Gigabyte MA790X-UD4P Motherboard
