 |
|
Hello,
I'm having some trouble setting up wireless networking with wpa_supplicant. Here's the error message I get when I try to start wlan0.
| Code: | /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
* Bringing up interface wlan0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...
Could not set interface wlan0 flags: No such file or directory
Failed to initialize driver interface
* start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant' [ !! ]
* ERROR: net.wlan0 failed to start

lspci -n says you do not have a wireless pci nic
ifconfig says you do have a working wireless nic but it is not working
ifconfig -a says you do have a wireless nic but it is not working
iwconfig says you do have a wireless nic but it is not working
if your wireless nic is usb it would explain the lspci result
if the wireless nic is usb the ifconfig result probably means that kernel driver(s) and/or firmware are not installed.
what is the make/model of the wireless nic?
if a pci card, run: | Code: | emerge wgetpaste pciutils
update-pciids
lspci -v | wgetpaste
|
if a usb card, run: | Code: | emerge usbutils
lsusb -v |
post the url's returned here

you have a 14e4:4320 Yes Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller which was in lspci -n, apologies for my failure to see it.
best guess: | Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge b43-firmware |
will handle getting firmware in place | Code: | | cd /usr/src/linux;make menuconfig |
selecting
[*] Networking support --->
-*- Wireless --->
<M> cfg80211 - wireless configuration API
[*] cfg80211 wireless extensions compatibility
[*] Wireless extensions sysfs files
<M> Common routines for IEEE802.11 drivers
<M> Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211)
Device Drivers --->
[*] Network device support --->
[*] Wireless LAN --->
<M> Broadcom 43xx wireless support (mac80211 stack)
then | Code: | make && make_modules_install
modprobe b43
lspci -k
ifconfig |
verify a driver and that the nic is active
according to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43?highlight=%28BCM4306%29 :
you need
either
the b43 legacy driver and firmware installed using b43-fwcutter if the 4306/2 version
or
you need the b43 driver and firmware installed using b43-fwcutter if 4306/3
