The kernel is 4.4.115 32bit AMD k6-3 kernel config: https://paste.pound-python.org/show/1SxDe2mLXpGsQlXQJRTy/
wpa_supplicant is here (passkey truncated): https://paste.pound-python.org/show/pXmW720PcNNJUMBeAzdk/
/etc/conf.d/net is here: https://paste.pound-python.org/show/L9IKydC1J9UbDgcIpEI5/
ifconfig -a is here: https://paste.pound-python.org/show/358qtys74LA6bDtkckW9/
lsmod is here: https://paste.pound-python.org/show/Ym8PDMsM5iKYRwAycQMw/
There are three cards
1) Realtek wired 100Mhz PCI using module 8139too and renamed wan0 by eudev rule
2) Intel wired 1000Mhz PCI using module e1000 and renamed lan0 by eudev rule
3) TP-LINK wireless PCI card using module ath9k (Atheros 9227) and named wlan0 by the kernel
The intended use is as a router, but right now both wired interfaces are connected to a DLINK router to which I'm trying to get the wireless card to speak to.
Wired internet works fine. dmesg is filled with: | Code: | [ 4352.899627] cfg80211: World regulatory domain updated:
[ 4352.899650] cfg80211: DFS Master region: unset

Endlessly repeated. The wiki suggests putting the country code in wpa_supplicant right in the {} block, but I always get a syntax error there.
I need to set the country to US, disable 5Ghz band and connect to the DLINK router. The DLINK's log shows NOTHING, no attempts to connect, no rejections, nothing. The DLINK's AP is working because I have a few TV's, an HP printer, a ROKU and two amazon firestick's connected to it and the other computers on the network (all wired). I know the wireless card is good because it used to work on another Gentoo computer, now wired. That's where the wpa_supplicant.conf came from.
Can someone teach me to fish?

Not sure if it's of any help to you, but...
Do you have CONFIG_CFG80211=y or CONFIG_CFG80211=m?
Here's what I have on my main laptop:
| Code: | clevow230ss /home/fitzcarraldo # cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep CFG80211
CONFIG_CFG80211=y
# CONFIG_CFG80211_DEVELOPER_WARNINGS is not set
CONFIG_CFG80211_DEFAULT_PS=y
# CONFIG_CFG80211_DEBUGFS is not set
# CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB is not set
CONFIG_CFG80211_CRDA_SUPPORT=y
# CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT is not set |
And there should be a udev rule (I'm using eudev, in fact):
| Code: | clevow230ss /home/fitzcarraldo # cat /lib64/udev/rules.d/85-regulatory.rules
# Runs CRDA for kernel wireless regulatory events.
# For more information see:
# http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA
KERNEL=="regulatory*", ACTION=="change", SUBSYSTEM=="platform", RUN+="/usr/sbin/crda" |
If I had not built cfg80211 into the kernel, I would check the module is loaded:
| Code: | | # lsmod | grep cfg80211 |
To check the current regulatory setting:
| Code: | clevow230ss /home/fitzcarraldo # iw reg get
global
country 00: DFS-UNSET
(2402 - 2472 @ 40), (N/A, 20), (N/A)
(2457 - 2482 @ 20), (N/A, 20), (N/A), AUTO-BW, NO-IR
(2474 - 2494 @ 20), (N/A, 20), (N/A), NO-OFDM, NO-IR
(5170 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (N/A), AUTO-BW, NO-IR
(5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW, NO-IR
(5490 - 5730 @ 160), (N/A, 20), (0 ms), DFS, NO-IR
(5735 - 5835 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (N/A), NO-IR
(57240 - 63720 @ 2160), (N/A, 0), (N/A) |
To set it to the UK in my case:
| Code: | clevow230ss /home/fitzcarraldo # iw reg set GB
clevow230ss /home/fitzcarraldo # iw reg get
global
country GB: DFS-ETSI
(2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20), (N/A)
(5170 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (N/A), AUTO-BW
(5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW
(5490 - 5710 @ 160), (N/A, 27), (0 ms), DFS
(57000 - 66000 @ 2160), (N/A, 40), (N/A) |
crda is installed:
| Code: | clevow230ss /home/fitzcarraldo # eix crda
[I] net-wireless/crda
Available versions: 1.1.3-r1 3.18-r1 {gcrypt libressl}

Yes, it's loaded | Code: | 6 ~ # lsmod |grep cfg80211

I have the rule but under /lib not /lib64 because this is a 32 bit only system (32 bit CPU).
I'll emerge iw but it will take some time (took four hours to rebuild the kernel0. |

Road2hell is my AP. Bentley ATT3fwv8u4 DIRECT-VG-BRAVIA and linksys all appear in the wifi scan on my Samsung Galaxy S5. I don't maintain phone service on it. I just keep it as a handy camera (better than the one on my flip phone). It looks like it can be a wifi debugging tool also. I didn't know it would work without a valid SIM card.
BTW, linksys is unsecured. I wish I knew which of my neighbors it belongs to so I can warn them. It would blow their mind if I ssh'd in and left a file with a message. Better not. I'll jut ask the neighbors I like. |

Tony0945 ...
I suspect the ASSOC issue is not related to your regulatory domain. Often you can't change the domain with Atheros cards (and from the above that seems be true in your case), they are locked in EEPROM (see here). However, you shouldn't need to, it should be set with a regdomain suitable for the domain in which you bought the device (I assume US).
The output of wpa_cli above is perfectly fine, but it doesn't provide any information as to what the issue might be, for that you need to enable 'debug', so:
| /etc/conf.d/net: | | wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dnl80211 -dd -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log" |
... then pastebin the log and I'll see if I can identify the issue.
BTW, you might also take a look at the output of dmesg when the ath9k module is loaded (I believe the ath9k driver requires firmware, but don't quote me on that), and 'iw event -f' when the card is active and associating/associated.
HTH & best ... khay |

Aha! First problem, I'm looking for "road2hell" and the DLINK router is advertising "Road2hell", as always with good intentions.
EDIT:From the router log
| Code: | [INFO] Sat Mar 10 13:50:20 2018 Road2hell: Wireless system with MAC address A0F3C17721FA secured and linked
[INFO] Sat Mar 10 13:50:20 2018 Road2hell: Wireless system with MAC address A0F3C17721FA associated
[INFO] Sat Mar 10 13:50:20 2018 Above message repeated 1 times |
I can now ping the address in /etc/conf.d/net (192.168.0.2), but not the address assigned by the router (192.168.0.109)
EDIT2: Changed /etc/conf.d/net config line | Code: | #config_wlan0="192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.0.0"
config_wlan0="dhcp"
|
Now I can ping 192.168.0.109 bit ifconfig says "inactive". Still I can ssh in. And ifconfig stopped saying "inactive"
I have to say it's working unless someone can suggest additional tests?
Next stop, trying to use the card as an AP.
Once again, Khayyam's knowledge of linux and gentoo have saved me. And I have learned something. Than you very very much, my friend. |

EDIT:
It's working good. But the log is filling up and i can't even see what errors are in dmesg because cfg80211 is flooding it.
I enabled AP mode with hostapd per the wiki and I can see the SSID on my Galaxy 5 and authenticate. It hangs on trying to get an ip address but the wireless stuff seems to working but I need to get this endless repitition out of dmesg and /var/log/messages. I
ve shut down the computer to conserve disk space (it's an old IDE drive). |

Tony0945 ... I think you may have CONFIG_CFG80211_REG_DEBUG enabled.
thanks for the kind words & best ... khay |

You're Welcome. I turned that one off and another under MAC80211 and changed CONFIG_CFG80211 back to "y" from "m". Now, it only posts once at boot in dmesg and not at all in /var/log/messages. Sorry, I panicked.
Continued working on AP and got it up. Scanned with my phone, found the network and logged in. It was stuck at getting an ip address but that was just Dnsmasq DHCP configuration. Now the phone, connects, logs in and attempts to access the internet. It fails but that's either DNS resolution or routing. I think it's routing because the phone is connecting to a bogus network consisting of the one machine. The cable modem is on another network.
I'm putting it aside until I work up a nice web interface. I already knew that the wired router part of this project worked and with the cell phone connecting, i have every expectation that the wireless will too if I connect the WAN cable to the modem.
I did learn a lot more about networking and wireless from this experiment. |

Hi Tony, I seem to be having the same issue on a new build, can I possibly see your working kernel config?
Thanks

Cool, thanks... It looks like you're using 4.4? I must be having a different issue. I'll throw up another thread then.
Thanks again
