 Posted: Wed Jul 27, 2016 8:51 pm Post subject: Setting up wireless networking |
 |
|
Hi all,
I'm going to be shuffling some things around the house. We have an old desktop (my main computer) and a few laptops. Presently the desktop is hooked up to my wireless router/modem via an ethernet cable. However, the location of the modem (next to the desktop) causes problems in terms of the signal, i.e., it's hard to get a reliable wireless connection from anywhere within our flat. So, I did some experimenting and found that moving the modem into the hall changes that situation dramatically. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to connect the desktop to the modem in the new location. It turns out, however, that my wife has an old Belkin USB adapter. It's 54 mbps, but that's better than what I get through the ethernet cable (I think) or at least not too shabby for an old computer.
My question therefore was what the basics would be to use the connector and get this old computer on wireless ethernet. I expect I'd first have to figure out what hardware it is and enable it in the kernel (as module? as compiled?). Then I'd need to configure other things. However, the information online just wasn't that clear to me. So, while I am not asking for a step-by-step guide, it would be helpful to know in what order I need to do stuff and where to look for the various things or what to look for so that I can google it myself.
Anyway, thanks in advance for assisting me with making life a smidgen better.
Best,
Alex |

Hi,
the first step is to retreive the idVendor:idProduct of your Usb Belkin device, a pair of 4 hexadecimal numbers in the form of xxxx:yyyy by executing the lsusb command in a terminal. With this ID, go to Welcome - Linux Wireless and check if this ID device is supported. If yes, note the module who support it to know which wireless support activate in the Linux kernel. If a firmwares package need to be install, note it too and install it if not and available.
From what I know of Belkin wireless, the chipsets they use can be not supported natively by Linux. I think some of them have Broadcom chipsets who are not pseudo/facto ready to use. Wireless devices do not need to be compiled in the kernel image. You can compile your Belkin support, if available, in module. It's easier to manage when it need firmware files and when pass parameters to the module is needed. You can unload and reload the module without have to reboot too.

Hi there,
Thanks for replying. The page you sent was having problems, but I followed your advice and then searched via google. It looks like the device (050d:7050)
is supported in the kernel. Am I right in supposing that the next step is to enable it as a module and then recompile the kernel?
Best,
Alex

Just a quick follow-up on this. Finding this led to another question. How do I enable the driver in the kernel? I cannot seem to get access to the option in make menuconfig. Usually I manage to find these, but no luck this time. The option is hidden away. Any help would be appreciated.

evoweiss,
That's a ralink RT73. Its well supported in the kernel.
You will hate 54Mbit wifi after even 100Mbit ethernet.
Wired RJ45 ethernet is full duplex, that good from a latency point of view and you had that all to yourself to the router.
WiFi is half duplex and the wifi bandwidth is shared by all users, its 54 MBit/sec, half duplex at best.
The half duplex makes the latency worse and you are moving to a wireless link shared by other users too.
Here's the kernel help | Code: | Symbol: RT73USB [=m] │

The Depends on: statement must evaluate to true before Prompt: Ralink rt2501/rt73 (USB) support appears for you to select.
You can see hidden kernel options with the 'z' toggle. That allows the search to search hidden options too.
Your wifi 'doofer' needs firmware, so don't forget to emerge linux-firmware.

Hi there,
Thanks for letting me know. I think I'll splash out on something better, particularly as it's not a big expense. Do you have any recommendations for what to look for? It's a temporary solution until this computer gives up the ghost.
Best,
Alex

evoweiss,
There is nothing as permanent as a temporary solution :)
Before you splash out, set it up and evaluate it. No need to spend money if it does what you want.
Are you going to need to upgrade the router too?
There is no point in getting a 1200MBit/sec Wifi dongle if your router is only 54Mbit/sec
Look at your use case. Unless you have fibre broadband (FTTC), 54Mbit/sec is faster that your ADSL downlink, so you will max out your downlink before your WiFi.
If you have a server connected (wired) to the router, then you can max out the WiFi.

Hi there,
Good advice. My router does 54Mbit/sec on wireless. I've got ADSL 2+ and around 16Mbit/sec down if I recall (the manhole is on the street outside). So I suspect that means there won't be an apparent drop in speed.
Best,
Alex

Hi again,
I tried following the help (as I did earlier), but I still cannot work it out. That is to say, I cannot locate said options and, after 'getting past' setting wlan to yes, I still see nothing for ralink driver support. If I use z I see the option. Asking for help on the option gives me:
| Code: |
Symbol: RT2X00 [=n] │
│ Type : tristate │
│ Prompt: Ralink driver support │
│ Location: │
│ -> Device Drivers │
│ -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) │
│ -> Wireless LAN (WLAN [=y]) │
│ Defined at drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/Kconfig:1 │
│ Depends on: NETDEVICES [=y] && WLAN [=y] && MAC80211 [=n] && HAS_DMA [=y] |
And the "depends on" resolves to true if I check the status of the options.
Best,
Alex |

evoweiss,
| Code: | | Depends on: NETDEVICES [=y] && WLAN [=y] && MAC80211 [=n] && HAS_DMA [=y] |
That's a four input logical AND.
MAC80211 [=n] needs to become MAC80211 [=y] or MAC80211 [=m]

Hi,
I see... it wasn't telling me what state was needed, i.e., MAC80211 [=n] but what it was.
Anyway, I will check what the next step is and will come back if I have trouble getting things running.
Best,
Alex

Hi there,
Okay, so I've compiled the module in the kernel, emerged the drivers, but I don't seem to have the new device.
I tried modprobe rt2x00usb and it seemed to work (no errors in dmesg), but neither ifconfig -a or any other command suggests there is wireless.
Any help, as always, would be appreciated.
Best,
Alex |

evoweiss,
Can you see the USB device being detected in dmesg?
What about the firmware being loaded?
Post your dmesg.

Hi,
The device appears to be detected, but the firmware may be a problem. My dmesg is here:

Its detected but the driver doesn't like the RF chipset.
Belkin were a bit naughty, on occasions, changing the hardware without changing the USB device ID.
Google suggests that the required kernel driver may be zd1211rw.
Add that but leave the rt73usb as a module too.

I see... I have done as you suggested, but still no love despite there being no apparent error. The relevant bit of dmesg is:
| Code: |

From the link I give you above, there is 3 possible drivers modules for the 050d:7050 device ID , rt2500usb , rt73usb and p54usb . You should activate all of them in your kernel configuration.
Have you activate the modules autoload option in your kernel configuration. Otherwise, you have to load manually those modules.

Hi,
Looks like rt2500usb did the trick. I've set it to autoload, too. Now I can see wlan0.
At this point, I'm going to try to work on it myself to see how far I get. If I run into any further trouble, I'll post here.
Thanks again all of you.
Best,
Alex

So... I tried to get things working, but ran into another stumbling block, i.e., configuring wpa_supplicant and conf.d/net. Right now if I try to get wireless started via /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart, all goes well until it hangs with the message "eth0: waiting for carrier".
My wpa_supplicant file, sans password details, is as follows:
| Code: |
# The below line not be changed otherwise wpa_supplicant refuses to work
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
# Ensure that only root can read the WPA configuration
ctrl_interface_group=0
# Let wpa_supplicant take care of scanning and AP selection
ap_scan=1
# Simple case: WPA-PSK, PSK as an ASCII passphrase, allow all valid ciphers
network={
ssid="my nifty ssid"
psk="my nifty passkey"
# The higher the priority the sooner we are matched
priority=5
}
|
The other file, conf.d/net is as follows:
| Code: |
# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
modules="wpa_supplicant,dhcpcd"
wpa_supplicant_eth0="-Dndiswrapper"
config_eth0="dhcp"
# dhcpcd_eth0="-I ''"
# The network scripts are now part of net-misc/netifrc
# In order to avoid sys-apps/openrc-0.12.4 from removing this file, this comment was
# added; you can safely remove this comment. Please see
# /usr/share/doc/netifrc*/README* for more information.
|
As always, any help would be appreciated.
I made sure to tell my wireless modem/router to recognize the mac address.
Best,
Alex |

evoweiss,
eth0 is the kernel name for the wired interface.
Wireless usually starts at wlan0 or for a few USB wifi dongles, its usb0.
That's the kernel names. (e)udev renames interfaces by default.
What interfaces does list?

| Code: | | wpa_supplicant_eth0="-Dndiswrapper" |
is for using windows drivers with the ndiswrapper package.
If you are using a kernel module, that won't be right for you.

Hi there,
Thanks for the speedy reply. The ifconfig results are:
| Code: |
# ifconfig -a
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

I've revised conf.d/net to be as follows:
| Code: |
# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
modules_eth0="dhcpcd"
config_eth0="dhcp"
modules_wlan0="wpa_supplicant dhcpcd"
config_wlan0="dhcp"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-wext"
# dhcpcd_eth0="-I ''"
|
I've also tried -Dnl80211, but got the same result as before.
Best,
Alex |

Before try to use a boot script to connect to Internet with wlan0, try to connect manually in command lines. Stop any script that can make run wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd. Kill them if they are up. Activate wlan0 and scan wireless access points to see if it work. As root
| Code: | ifconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scan | less |
If you see access points including the one you want to connect to do
| Code: | | wpa_supplicant -B -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -D nl80211 -dd -f /var/log/wpa.log -i wlan0 -t |
Wait a bit and check if you are associated with the access point
If yes, than do
Than check your ip configuration
Try to browse the Web with a browser. If you can, than configure /etc/conf.d/net must work with the appropriate setup.
Is eth0 need to be configure via dhcp too?

evoweiss,
Heres my working setup.
| ls -l /etc/init.d/net* contains: | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Jan 3 2016 /etc/init.d/net.eth0 -> net.lo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17824 Oct 25 2015 /etc/init.d/net.lo
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Jul 4 2015 /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 -> net.lo |
| /etc/conf.d/net: | modules="wpa_supplicant iproute2"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dnl80211"
config_wlan0="dhcpcd" |
I use IPv6, hence the iproute2. Its not required for IPv4
| /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf: | ctrl_interface_group=0
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=1
network={
priority=50
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
mode=0
psk="Sekrit_Pass_Phrase"
ssid="RadioNet24"
}
|
This file must only be readable by root or wpa_supplicant will refuse to work.
A couple of other things. net.wlan0 can be in the default runlevel if you like. For testing its probably easier to do
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start |
The net file will run wpa_supplicant when net.wlan0 is started. wpa_supplicant must not be in the default runlevel.
You may have at most a single way to manage you interfaces. If you have several, they will all try to run wpa_supplicant on the interface in their own time.
At best, the interface will be up and down every few seconds.
If all is well,
| dmesg: | [ 12.549585] wlan0: authenticate with b4:75:0e:19:e0:d7
[ 12.556794] wlan0: send auth to b4:75:0e:19:e0:d7 (try 1/3)
[ 12.558597] wlan0: authenticated
[ 12.560172] wlan0: associate with b4:75:0e:19:e0:d7 (try 1/3)
[ 12.564771] wlan0: RX AssocResp from b4:75:0e:19:e0:d7 (capab=0x431 status=0 |
shows that the wireless bit of WiFi worked.
After you are both authenticated and associated, its possible to run dhcpcd on the interface, just like a wired interface.
dhcpcd should not be in the default runlevel either but that may work.

Hi Paul and NeddySeagoon,
I've modified my file so that they match yours (save the ipv6 code). I cannot seem to connect manually. No error code, but no evidence that I am connected to anything either. Running the net file gives me:
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart
* Bringing down interface wlan0
* Stopping wpa_cli on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Stopping wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Bringing up interface wlan0
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL control device [ ok ]
* Starting wpa_cli on wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Backgrounding ... ...
* WARNING: net.wlan0 has started, but is inactive
|
Best,
Alex
