percy_vere_uk,
Providing you have a nameserver at 192.168.0.1, which is your next hop towards the internet, that all looks good.
Try | Code: | ping goolge.com
ping 173.194.36.104 |
Both should give the same result.
How does your wireless get its IP address - do you have a static setup or do you use dhcpcd?
Can you test with wired networking to ensure that works ?

The wired network works fine it just worked as soon as I installed wicd I have not changed anything in the properties box for the wired or the wireless networks.
As Posted previously : Wed Sep 08, 2010 7:06 am
"wireless network shows connected at 100%
wired network properties box shows hostname 'my_hostname' this is not ticked. but this works fine.
wireless network properties box shows hostname 'my_hostname' greyed out ticking this brings it up to full contrast.
when wireless network is connected and I go into the browser and enter 'forums.gentoo.org' I eventualy get:
........................
Unable to load page
Problem occurred while loading the URL https://forums.gentoo.org/
Cannot resolve hostname
.........................
I get the same result with this box ticked or not. "
..........................................................
These are the technical settings as provided by my ISP:

This means you are in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet but your wireless says route output says | Quote: | | 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0 |
Thats the 192.168.0.0/24. Those subnets are mutually exclusive.
It may be that your wireless is on a different subnet to your wired intentionally but thats not normal with a domestic router.
So where does the wireless get its IP and nameserver from?
What is in /etc/conf.d/net ?
IF you really do have wireless and wired in different subnets, they may well have separate firewall arrangements.
What router do you have ?

I've had a read of router manual and it appears to contain only a single dhcp server, which is what I expected. Its own IP address is 192.168.0.1, which ties in with what you post about your wired connection.
As you only have a single DHCP server, your wireles IP should be in the same range ... starting 192.168.0...
You posted above that your wireless IP address was 196.168.1 .... which makes me think you connected to some other AP, not your own.
Start your wlan0 interface.
What does show ?
Is the ESSID your own?
Post the full output.
Do | Code: | | iwlist wlan0 scanning |
It will take a few seconds and will return a list of Access Points in range.

Well, that works and you are the owner of the only AP in range.
What is the IP address on wlan0 ?

percy_vere_uk,
Thats ok too. Your router is 192,168.0.1
Your wired interface is 192.168.0.2, which your DHCP server remembers for some time by its MAC ID.
When you connect wlan0, you get 192.168.0.3 which is the next IP address from the the dhcp pool.
It seems as if everything is working. You are associated, you have an IP.
As your wireless is in the same subnet as your wired interface, you cannot test wireless just by unplugging the wired interface.
You must do things in the right order.
| Code: | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 stop
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start |
This will prevent the routing table being in a mess and ensure that /etc/resolv.conf is correctly populated.
That should work.

This operating system is from time to time moved between computers.
On this laptop the wired interface is eth1.
...............................
# /etc/init.d/net.eth1 stop

# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 stop

# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start

#
...............................
eth1 was up and working at the start and at the finish of this
connection properties shows eth1 up and working and I have posted this message
with it!
...............................
Just to be sure I did:
# /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop
* WARNING: net.eth0 has not yet been started.

percy_vere_uk,
Adapt what I said to suit your interfaces. You didn't stop your wired interface.
No matter yet as the script to control your wireless does not exist, so it can't start.
| Code: | # /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 stop
bash: /etc/init.d/net.wlan0: No such file or directory |
First make the script.
| Code: | cd /etc/init.d
ln -s net.lo net.wlan0 |
you only do this once.
Now stop your eth1 as thats your wired interface
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.eth1 stop |
and start wireless | Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start |

percy_vere_uk,
This makes me wonder how eth1 got started as you appear to have no /etc/init.d/net.eth1 script.
Make your eth1 script, just as you did for wlan0 ... just put eth1 in place of wlan0 in the same commands.
You will also need to edit /etc/conf.d/rc find this bit | Code: | # Do we allow any started service in the runlevel to satisfy the depedency
# or do we want all of them regardless of state? For example, if net.eth0
# and net.eth1 are in the default runlevel then with rc_depend_strict="NO"
# both will be started, but services that depend on 'net' will work if either
# one comes up. With rc_depend_strict="YES" we would require them both to
# come up.
#rc_depend_strict="YES" |
an add a line | Code: | | rc_depend_strict="NO" |
Since you do not want to force eth1 and wlan0 to be up at the same time.
Now stop both eth1 and wlan0, then start wlan0.
Other than eth1 not stopping, it all looked good.

/etc/init.d has links for net.eth0 net.eth1 net.wlan0
I have looked in /etc/conf.d/rc and there is no rc_depend_strict=" " section
I have tried adding the line rc_depend_strict="NO" and re booting

percy_vere_uk,
Before | Code: | | # /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start |
doand see its its any better.
The important point to note is that in the output of the route cammand, at any time, should only have one interface listed beside lo and only a single default route as the last line of the output. If you have two (or more) default routes, its unlikely to work ... and if it does, its working for the wrong reasons.
If you want to talk to me on IRC, I'll be on freenode shortly. You can ping me in #gentoo or in ##NeddySeagoon

percy_vere_uk,
Do you have a physical rfkill swaitch, that you need to operate to turn on wireless?
These switches are aimed at power saving. The default state at boot will be wireless off.

The rfkill switch I assume is the switch on the laptop, which I have left turned on and shows the on indicator. The wireless is working fine in Ubuntu on the same laptop.

I do not have the file ' /etc/conf.d/wireless'

Do you think that it might be an idea to try different drivers as my original comment "I have found that the drivers supplied with the kernel do not work." came about by comments by others in various forums having come to this conclusion.
If you think this is not going to be resolved then I have found 'rtl8187L_linux_26.1039.0104.2010.release.tar.gz'
on the realtek website. But would need some guidance in installing these.
If you do think there is still 'hope' then please carry on!

percy_vere_uk,
You post above indicates that you got a wireless connection as far as your router at least.
If nothing else seems to work, its missing nameservers in /etc/resolv.config or routes for eth1 still in your routing table
The kernel driver is certainly OK.
The file /etc/conf.d/wireless has long been depreciated. You can put all of the wireless settings in /etc/conf.d/net.
That you get that message prompts me to ask you to post the output of so that we can see versions of your key packages.
Get back to | Code: | 2010/09/13 14:41:31 :: ifconfig wlan0
2010/09/13 14:41:31 :: IP Address is: 192.168.0.3
2010/09/13 14:41:35 :: Sending connection attempt result Success |
thenpost your /etc/resolv.conf and route output.
If route mentions wlan0 at all, and not eth0, then should work. Thats a ping to your router.
Try | Code: | | ping 173.194.36.104 |
which will work if your route contains the default route
and needs both the default route and nameserver

percy_vere_uk,
There must be an ordering of commands problem. Your emerge --sync is fine.
Your /etc/resolv.conf is good - it should be the same whichever interface you use.
Your route output shows no signs of wlan0 which is completely wrong.
I was half expecting to see the eth1 lines repeated for wlan0 ... then it depends on the order of the entries in the routing table what works and what doesn't.
A correct routing table will have eth1 replaced with wlan0 in both places and eth1 missing.
Lets be a little more direct.
Unplug the ethernet wire and reboot. If wlan0 does not attempt to start, run | Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 |
after you log in.
Ignore the errors about eth1 - they are fine, its because its not connected.
What is in /etc/resolv.conf and in the output of route now ?
If its as I described - it will work.

Then in browser I clicked on link to gentoo forums and the usual error message appears:
'Unable to load page
Problem occurred while loading the URL https://forums.gentoo.org/
Cannot resolve hostname'
......................
Re-connect wired ethernet scan in wicd and eth1 comes up.
................................................................................................
Perhaps nothing to do with the problem but I have just done a:
emerge -pv --update --deep --newuse world
With a view to updating the system once I have this wireless working
and I did notice this conflict involving wicd.
('installed', '/', 'sys-power/pm-utils-1.4.1', 'nomerge') pulled in by
>=sys-power/pm-utils-1.1.1 required by ('installed', '/', 'net-misc/wicd-1.7.0', 'nomerge')

percy_vere_uk,
That all looks good - apart from the error message.
The wireless worked - it broadcast for and received an IP address.
| Code: | | Cannot resolve hostname' |
means that either nameserver 192.168.0.1 is wrong and there is no nameserver at that IP, which is unlikely, as the same entry works for wired, or the wireless link is down.
Try the pings I gave earlier. If ping <IP> works but ping <name> fails, its a nameserver issue.
If both fail, save the output of dmesg with | Code: | | dmesg > wifi_dmesg.txt |
and post wifi_dmesg.txt when you get back to wired networking.
dmesg may have some useful error messages at the end.
Hint: if you paste things like route -n output between code tags, the white space is preserved and the text is presented in a fixed width font.
Like this | Code: | $ /sbin/route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.100.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.10.0 192.168.100.1 255.255.255.0 UG 3 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.100.1 0.0.0.0 UG 3 0 0 eth0 |
It looks ugly in your outgoing message - try preview before you send.

Using wlan0
| Code: | # ping 192.168.0.1
PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. |
| Code: | # ping 173.194.36.104
PING 173.194.36.104 (173.194.36.104) 56(84) bytes of data. |
| Code: | # ping google.com
ping: unknown host google.com
# |
| Code: | | wifi_dmesg.txt http://paste.pocoo.org/show/263194/ |
Thanks for the hint on the formatting, I always use preview but had not found how to preserve white space.

percy_vere_uk,
From your pastebin,
| Code: | [ 670.671413] wlan0: authenticate with 00:1f:33:73:52:28 (try 1)
[ 670.673409] wlan0: authenticated
[ 670.725417] wlan0: associate with 00:1f:33:73:52:28 (try 1)
[ 670.778679] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:1f:33:73:52:28 (capab=0x421 status=0 aid=1)
[ 670.778683] wlan0: associated
[ 670.784369] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
[ 674.707027] eth1: no IPv6 routers present
[ 681.594022] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
[ 740.711645] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:1f:33:73:52:28 by local choice (reason=3) |
We can seen that wlan0 works, then the system drops the link.
There are lots of posts on the forums about that, put | Code: | | wlan0 deauthenticating from by local choice reason 3 site:forums.gentoo.org |
into google.
It looks to be a configuration issue. Possibly power management as the link is good for 70 seconds.
