[Solved] Problems with iwl4965 / compat-wireless-2.6-old

[sj.gentoo]

Hi all.

I am having trouble with the iwl4965 driver. When i /etc/init.d/net.wlan1 restart i get this message.
* Starting wlan1
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device
* Wireless radio has been killed for interface wlan1

dmesg tells me this.

I have tried to install to install compat-wireless-2.6-old i am on kernel 2.6.25-gentoo-r7

it gives me this output.

make load

when i reboot the system, the wifi works without compat-wireless but if i am somehow out of range i need to reboot the system again, i can't live with that.

what am I doing wrong. please help me, i need wifi.

Help Needed.

Thank you for your reply.

Please help

After solving your problem, you will need to update your profile to the 2008.0/desktop and also you will need to update your python installation to version 2.5.

[sj.gentoo]

I have updated Python to the latest stable version, also i have used eselect profile list, and switched to eselect profile 9 see below.
is this the correct way to do it.
skc-gentoo ~ # eselect profile list

[BrummieJim]

Have you tried unloading and reloading the iwl4965 module i.e.

[sj.gentoo]

it's the same error message.

skc@skc-gentoo ~ $ sudo -s
skc-gentoo ~ # modprobe -r iwl4965
skc-gentoo ~ # modprobe iwl4965

And dmesg says the following.

[d2_racing]

Hi, double check you kernel to see if you have this inside :

[d2_racing]

Also run this command :

[sj.gentoo]

i can't find theese settings in the menuconfig.
maybe it's not in the 2.6.25-gentoo-r7

(M) Intel Wireless Wifi Core
(*) IWLWIFI RF kill support
(*) Enable LEDS features in iwl4965 driver

if it's not in the kernel, please help me update to the newest kernel where the settings exist.

And by the way thanks for your help.

i have updated the kernel with the settings you told me too (except the 3 settings above) and rebooted the system. should i still post the commands ?
or should i wait for your next answer ?

Thanks again.

[sj.gentoo]

i decided to post it all anyway.

as you can see i still can't get the wifi working, and i can't modprobe wifi4965.
i havn't tried without the compat-wireless driver tough, should i try that first ?

[d2_racing]

Hi, you need to have this inside your kernel 2.6.25

[sj.gentoo]

i have set my menuconfig and recompiled it exactly like you said.

here is the output but no changes, wifi is still not working with the compat-wireless drivers.

Hi, can you post your .config plz.

Also, did you recompile your kernel,reboot your box ?

It's impossible

[sj.gentoo]

yes i recompiled it and rebootet the box.

here is my .config

i have the RFKILL_SWITCH in my kernel, if i compile it without it my notebook can't turn off automatically.

[d2_racing]

Ok you kernel seems to be good.

So, what do you do after you have compiled your kernel ?

Can you post the exact command plz.

[sj.gentoo]

Here is what I did.
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
make && make modules_install
reboot
login

[d2_racing]

I understand now.

You need to actually copy your bzImage inside your /boot.

Like this :

[sj.gentoo]

sorry i forgot to tell you, this is my menu.lst
