Good day!
My system:
uname -a
| Code: | | Linux VAIO-BOOK 4.6.0-gentoo #6 Fri Jul 8 00:41:59 MSK 2016 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux |
I have a USB WiFi dongle based on Atheros 7015 chipset. I'm enable as module ath_9k:
grep ATH /usr/src/linux/.config
| Code: | # CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_ATHEROS is not set
CONFIG_ATH_COMMON=m
CONFIG_WLAN_VENDOR_ATH=y
# CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_ATH5K is not set
# CONFIG_ATH5K_PCI is not set
CONFIG_ATH9K_HW=m
CONFIG_ATH9K_COMMON=m
CONFIG_ATH9K_BTCOEX_SUPPORT=y
# CONFIG_ATH9K is not set
CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC=m
# CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC_DEBUGFS is not set
# CONFIG_ATH6KL is not set
# CONFIG_ATH10K is not set
# CONFIG_DEBUG_WW_MUTEX_SLOWPATH is not set
|
Also I install linux-firmware. When I plug in dongle, appears that info:

None errors, but iwconfig gets:
| Code: | | wlp0s29f7u3 no wireless extensions |
What's wrong with my config? |

Nothing. Wireless extensions is a legacy interface and iwconfig is a legacy tool.
You can enable it, I think it's CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT, however it's deprecated. There are new, shiny things like iw (which offers a really, really, really horrible syntax) and wpa_cli which requires a wpa_supplicant daemon to be running. |
