 Posted: Tue Jan 12, 2016 5:04 pm Post subject: wireless not in ifconfig on thinkpad x220 |
 |
|
Trying to figure out why gentoo won't detect my wireless card. It detected fine with the gentoo liveUSB. It won't list with ifconfig, iwconfig, or ifconfig -a. I've been wandering through the support forum posts trying everything, so at this point I probably have enabled a bunch of wifi stuff in the kernel that doesn't need to be enabled.
My ethernet works and lists fine, no problems so far. According to lspci, my wireless card is Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205.
I've tried multiple iwl600x drivers(specifically 6000 and 6005, can't remember the others), but nothings got it so far. At one point I didn't realize that it wasn't showing the card in ifconfig and got started trying to set up networkmanager, so there's that going on as well.
When I modprobe iwlwifi it does not complain, but it still does not recognize the card.
CONFIG_IWLWIFI is set along with the other things I should need for this.
Tried a bunch of unmerging and remerging of firmware, not sure what else to do. Please let me know if anyone has a workaround.

Hi,
Did you compile the wireless driver as module or directly into the kernel? If you arent using a module, you need to specify the build in firmware in you kernel config. Otherwise the kernel cannot load the firmware.

Thanks for the tip, indeed they were not compiled as modules. I removed linux-firmware, made everything under wireless LAN a module, and re-emerged linux firmware, and now modprobe iwlwifi returns a could not insert: invalid argument error. Is there anything else that needs to be made modular? (also I noticed the iwlwifi.ucode files are back in the /libs/firmware folder after the emerge)
thanks again |

How did you install the new kernel? looks like there is something wrong with the kernel/module combination.

I just changed it in menuconfig and ran make && make modules_install && make install, after adding modules="iwlwifi" to etc/conf.d/modules. I also cleared and emerged the firmware again just in case that would help, but it still seems the same
edit: also /lib/modules/4.1.12-gentoo/kernel/drivers/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko does show up in find /lib/modules/<kernel version>/ -type f -iname '*.o' -or -iname '*.ko' | less. I chose to add modules="iwlwifi" because that's the driver it said it was using for the card on the liveusb. |

Please check your syslog for the point when you try to load the kernel module and post the output please. Also, when making the kernel, to make sure everything is compiled correctly, you could to a "make clean" before running "make" in the kernel source dir.

This looks like, your kernel didnt get copied to your boot folder. You can verify this by copying it by hand.

| @bbgermany I just wanted to thank you for your time and patience, I ended up reinstalling the os using genkernel, and so far the card is showing up as it should now. Hope you have a good week |
