 |
|
Hello all,
I'm using a Centrino 6205 wireless NIC, and can't seem to find any networks. After installing the appropriate firmware, I am able to see the NIC in the ifconfig output:
| Code: |
# ifconfig -a
*SNIP*
wlp3s0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 10:0b:a9:c1:51:98 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
|
However, when I try to use it in WICD, I just see "No wireless networks found." Also, when I look at 'iwconfig' I see:
| Code: |
# iwconfig
enp0s25 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.
wlp3s0 no wireless extensions.
|
Here's what I see in dmesg:
| Code: |
# dmesg | grep iwl

Any suggestions on how to continue troubleshooting?

last time I played with a Centrino6205 it needed
| Code: | | grep -i wext /usr/src/linux/.config |
| Quote: | CONFIG_WEXT_CORE=y
CONFIG_WEXT_PROC=y
CONFIG_WEXT_PRIV=y
CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT=y |
in menuconfig as
| Quote: | -*- Networking support --->
-*- Wireless --->
<M> Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211) |
then new kernel compiled and saved and reboot to it
or
make modules_install and modprobe -r cfg80211 and modprobe cfg80211 and restart wicd

Thank you very much, DONAHUE; that did it. I didn't have WEXT support in my kernel.
Cheers,
Nathan Zachary
