Just tried emerge -av ipw3945 again and it let me.

I think I've got that kind of thing once. IIRC I just unmerged ieee80211 and re-emerged it again. Then the same with ipw3945.

unmerged ipw3945, then ieee80211, ran script to clean kernel version - nothing found.
remerged ipw3945 - it selected ieee80211 and remerged - same problem.
unmerged ipw3945, then ieee80211, remerged 80211 then 3945 - same problem
unmerged ieee80211, remerged 80211, unmerged ipw3945, remerged ipw3945 - same problem...
*edit* I'm pretty convinced everything is coming down properly, but the ipw3945 is not for some reason, it seems to start at that dir copy error...
*edit again* Ok, the error is identical if I remove ipw3945 to if I have ipw3945 emerged, which would indicate it is ipw3945 not emerging properly.... |

Wait a sec, I had the same error of these mod files not being found by rmh's ebuild earlier.
I've since moved his ebuild out, removed it from the make.conf list and done a clean kernel rebuild (unmerge and remerge) but could something be hanging over? How do I check? |

Ok well this appears to be a dead end...
I have unmerged everything, purged the modules and rerun make modules_install to clean things up.
I followed the ipw3945 sourceforge website with all latest versions, installed ieee80211. No error messages all the way through....
Except on the trial of ./load debug=0 it bombs out with:
| Code: | gloin ipw3945-0.0.73 # ./load debug=0

First have you got these questions while running the remove-old script?
| Code: | # /bin/sh /usr/portage/net-wireless/ieee80211/files/remove-old /usr/src/linux
Checking in /usr/src/linux/ for ieee80211 components...
/usr/src/linux/include/config/ieee80211.h
Above files found. Remove? [y],n
#undef CONFIG_IEEE80211
Above definitions found. Comment out? [y], n |
Use the default answers (Y). You also MUST unselect ieee80211 support in your kernel beforehand. Sorry to repeat this but just in case.
I'm currently checking all the steps I indicated and re-emerging ieee80211. I'll be back once I've done everything once again.

See the warnings? You get them because ieee80211 binaries are not included in ipw3945 temporary tree while compiling. Hence it's referencing unknown symbols at link time. But it doesn't harm.
Note I have ipw3945 version 0.0.70. Just copy-rename the ebuild. That's all.
EDIT: just in case...

Solved it!
I unmerged everything (again), updated the kernel to 2.6.16-r1 with kernel ieee80211set to modular (can't be removed from menuconfig) and ran the remove script.
Then I downloaded the latest source from sourceforge and did a full manual build.
After a little tinkering, it works quite nicely!
Just playing with the init.d scripts to set my Wireless details up for bootup.
Thanks for all the help though!
btw, I must confess, yesterday in a heated rage I wiped everything and put Debian back. After 30 minutes I got sick of being able to 'fine tune' debian to the same extent and reinstalled Gentoo.
It's suprisingly addictive this stuff.... |

Glad you found a way to make it work. Never give up. That's the lesson  .
Keep cool man.

Ok, it's getting picked up at boot but it's not getting any further.
I have to su to root, then iwconfig .......settings.......
then ifconfig eth1 up
then dhcpd eth1
then it works fine. How can I get this to happen automatically? |

What version of baselayout do you have? You should have 1.12 series. Version 1.12.0_pre16 requires bash 3.1.xx and you'll have to unmask them (by ~ARCH in /etc/portage/keywords). You also should have udev version 070-r1 or above as stated in my howto.

Ok, I just thought I was beginning to understand a few things then that flew right over my head.
Could you explain that in simpler terms please? |

I also found why the ebuilds wouldn't work with ieee80211 from portage. It's because it doesn't find the ieee80211.h in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/include. In fact they are in /usr/include. I just added IEEE80211_INCLUDEDIR=/usr/include (if I remember clearly) to the ebuild, in front of the function that compiles the module, and it worked flawlessly |
Ah, that's interresting: do you mean you can now use kernel built-in ieee80211 drivers and not the ones from portage anymore? Could you please post your modified ebuild so I can update mine accordingly?
Thanks a lot for the info. |
What I meant is that rmh's ebuilds on gentoo-sources don't work (at least for me), because it doesn't work with the kernel ieee80211 system, and it doesn't find the ieee80211.h file when you install ieee80211 from portage. So I modified rmh's ebuild like this (diff-style) :
| Code: | src_compile() {
- linux-mod_src_compile
+ IEEE80211_INC=/usr/include linux-mod_src_compile
einfo
} |
However I don't know how it works with your ebuilds, VinzC.

Ah, Ok. I misunderstood. But I'd try that trick to have ipw3945 use the built-in ieee80211.

I'm in the same boat you were in. I'm getting all of the same errors you reported previously and was curious other than updating to a 2.6.16 kernel was there anything else you did to resolve the issue? I'm hoping I don't have to build a new kernel(currently running 2.6.15-r1). I tried manually installing the 0.0.73 driver version and the exact error still occurs when I try to modprobe ipw3945, as it also occurs when changing the ebuild to install .73(Unknown symbol in module... error. and then dmesg reports unknown symbols with : ieee80211_(get_geo|tx_frame|is_valid_channel) and free_ieee80211 and a bunch more "ieee80211_*" symbol errors).
Thanks

I definitely believe this is due to ipw3945 not being (correctly) linked against the right ieee80211 binaries. I don't know how exactly this issue can be solved but I'm convinced this is the reason why you get "unknown symbol" messages while loading the module.

After further investigations, I've had troubles with driver 0.0.72 and above. Loading the driver makes the WiFi led flash forever (or a rather long time) and the wireless network isn't established. I have no problem at all with and up to ipw3945-0.0.71.

what about linux driver 1.0.0 on intel site? ipw3945-linux-1.0.0.tgz
[url]http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/detail_desc.aspx?strstate=live&productid=1783&dwnldid=10315&agr=y&lang=eng&prdmap=1783
[/url]
how can one make it available for ebuild and on sourceforge?
I only find 0.0.74 on sourceforge.
(sorry - total newbie at work...) |

if you download it and check the changelog it seems that its 0.0.69 version, so the number 1.0.0 is at least strane
@VinzC: i did succesfully emerge your ebuilds (good job) with versions:
o ieee80211-1.1.13
o ipw3945-0.0.73 (and even 0.0.74)
o ipw3945-firmware-1.13
o ipw3945d-0.7.16
and it works i would like to write flawlessly but it's not. of course this not a problem of ebuilds but the driver itself.
i'm just loosing connnection with my AP and get the errors in logs about errors in decoding algorithms during authorization (i'm using WPA). BTW this behavior is a known bug.
the solution is not very "nice" but works: simply reload the driver.
ps. i'm using vanilla kernel 2.16.16 with the newest ACPI patches and i'm running ~x86

|
|
Hi,
thanks for the fabulous ebuilds first!
usually i don't need wireless so I want to deactivate it.
but all fails:
0) ipw3945d --kill
1) /etc/init.d/net.eth1 stop
2) modprobe -r ipw3945 || rmmod -f ipw3945
even after compiling a new kernel and rebooting
lsmod still shows the module [permanent] and it's dependencies.
it's like magic???
how can I get rid of the module and load and unload it at will? |

I've used rmmod myself and that works. I really don't do that too much though. If I want to turn the wireless off, I just use Fn-F2 and mine turns off. |

You can also put the module name in /etc/hotplug/blacklist if you don't need it for a long time. Remember however once the module name is there you must remove it manually from the file if you want to use the module again. The Fn+F2 key combo is more elegant in this case as the BIOS remembers the state of your WiFi, i.e. the RF-Switch state survives a reboot.

Thanks a lot . When I tried version 0.0.73 the driver had troubles finding an access point to associate with. Glad to hear it worked for you.

Now I'm using Gentoo Sources and I experience connection drops only from time to time (2-3 a week at most). So I wonder if Gentoo Sources are responsible for bringing more stability. Have you tried version 0.0.71?
Note I'm using the stable x86 branch and only ~x86 packages when absolutely necessary (e.g. baselayout and bash). Maybe the instability you experience is due to the ~x86 branch itself.
