 |
|
Hi,
I am new in this Forum. I try installing gentoo the first time (Until now I have used Debian) and I fail during the first steps :/.
I use a minimal install cd .iso .. on a USB stick.
I have an Asus Eee 1015PX. And I cann't connect to my router via wlan.
ifconfig showes:
| Code: | wlp2s0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 74:2f:68:8b:d8:2b txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 0 bytes (0.0 B)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions0

lspci shows:

I tried to config my wlan via:
I got no error message but I still can not ping gentoo or google
Also:
iwconfig gives:
| Code: | wlp2s0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"FRITZ!Box 7362 SL"
Mode:Managed Access Point Not-Associated Tx-Power=14 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off |
But i _have_ entered my encryption password (i tryed as ascii and hex that doesn't make any difference)
If I try to set my encryption via iwconfig:
| Code: | | iwconfig wlp2s0 key s:"password" |
or
| Code: | | iwconfig wlp2s0 key "password" |
I get the error:
| Code: | Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
Set failed on device wlp2s0; Invalid argument. |
I don't know what I should do. |

KaiusOptus ... I assume the AP you're attempting to connect to is using WPA/WPA2/RSN ... you can not do this with iwconfig (or iw) ... you need to use wpa_supplicant.

The gentoo minimal CD is not really suitable for wireless networking, I suggest using sysrescuecd which is gentoo based and has good wireless support (including wpa_gui if you 'startx').
HTH & best ... khay |

What does work (at least for me):
# ifconfig -a
# ip link set wlp4s0 up
# wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp4s0 -c <(wpa_passphrase "ssid" "psk")
# dhcpcd wlp4s0
Edit: I use a minimal installation CD (install-amd64-minimal-20141204.iso) on a USB stick. |
