 Posted: Tue Mar 13, 2018 12:15 am Post subject: [SOLVED] WPA_SUPPLICANT: Could not find wireless interface |
 |
|
PLEASE HELP: long story short: I've had WiFi working for a long time and now it stopped after attempting to make bluetooth detection work 
I have Gentoo 4.4.6 and I need to make my wpa_supplicant work again.
In case it might be needed, I followed the Bluetooth Headset article: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Bluetooth_Headset
and the Bluetooth Article https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Bluetooth
I did follow some forum pages but i don't quite remember although i saved some commands I used (they might be the cause of it)
* I don't know what this does, but i used it if it has something to do with it:
dbus-send --print-reply --system -dest=org.bluez / org.bluez.Manager.DefaultAdapter
* I also updated the use flags with --deep @world command
lsmod | grep iwlwifi
(nothing)
sudo /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant start
| Code: |
* Could not find a wireless interface
* ERROR: wpa_supplicant failed to start
|
sudo iwconfig
| Code: |
eno1 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.
|
sudo /etc/init.d/net.wlo1 start
| Code: |
* /etc/init.d/net.wlo1 uses runscript, please convert to openrc-run.
* Bringing up interface wlo1
* ERROR: interface wlo1 does not exist
* Ensure that you have loaded the correct kernel module for your hardware
* ERROR: net.wlo1 failed to start

I'VE TRIED:
* recompiling the kernel (keeping and removing the changes made from Bluetooth configuration) (currently Bluetooth changes from kernel are ON)
* recompiling wpa_supplicant
* manually starting wpa_supplicant (init.d)
* double checking kernel configuration from WiFi Wiki https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Wifi
* commenting all lines added to Bluetooth configuration files made (currently ALL COMMENTED)
* copy hooks from /usr/share/dhcpcd/hooks to /lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks
Any ideas of why my WiFi stopped working and how to fix it?
Thanks In Advance

What's the result of "ifconfig -a" ?
If you have compiled your config into the kernel, please post the url from
"zcat /proc/config.gz |wgetpaste" |

It's not detecting the wifi card 
regarding the zcat /proc/config.gz |wgetpaste

however i got to the directory and theres a "config" file inside "config.gz" with a bunch of lines.. should i send it all? (I'll just paste the ones i think matter)

You should emerge wgetpaste. It pastes textfiles into a file on the web and returns the url. It's very useful for posting large files on the forum.
I don't see any hardware drivers in what you posted. Let's see what hardware you have. Post the results of "lspci -k". If you don't have that command, "emerge pciutils", you will need that (and other things like hdparm) to examine your hardware.

Notice that it not only tells you what hardware is attched to the PCI bus, it tells what driver has been loaded. If you see something recognizably ethernet and there is no driver, we have hit paydirt.

My apologies. It must have been too late at night.
Looking over your pastebin, I don't see CONFIG_WLAN_VENDOR_INTEL set. This is at | Code: | Prompt: Intel devices │
│ Location: │
│ -> Device Drivers │
│ -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) │
│ -> Wireless LAN (WLAN [=y]) │
│ Defined at drivers/net/wireless/intel/Kconfig:1 │
│ Depends on: NETDEVICES [=y] && WLAN [=y] |
Yet somehow CONFIG_IWLWIFI=m ???
do "grep -r iwlwifi /lib/modules" to make sure the module is built. If it isn't, rebuild the kernel with CONFIG_WLAN_VENDOR_INTEL.
And I think you need firmware.
| Code: | MSI linux # eix -e iwl3160-ucode
* sys-firmware/iwl3160-ucode
Available versions:
(7) ~0.7.1.22
(8) ~0.8.15.22 ~0.8.24.22
(9) ~0.9.214.23 ~0.9.228.25
(10) ~0.10.11.23 ~0.10.15.23
(12) ~0.12.16.25 ~0.12.17.25

Description: Firmware for Intel (R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160

As your first post shows, it's masked, so I assume you are running a stable amd64 system.
Add the line "sys-firmware/iwl3160-ucode" to /etc/portage/package.unmask, run ". /etc/profile" and "emerge iwl3160-ucode"
reboot the computer and run "modprobe -v iwlwifi". If there is an error, pate the output of dmesg. |

Ok, I'm not sure if it's built : here is the paste for grep -r iwlwifi /lib/modules https://bpaste.net/show/a4172a6030a9
I checked the kernel and WLAN is [YES] ( i have already checked)
Added "sys-firmware/iwl3160-ucode" to package.unmask, but should it not be preceded by an "=" sign? I wrote it without an "=", ran source /etc/profile

Use --autounmask-write to write changes to config files (honoring
CONFIG_PROTECT). Carefully examine the list of proposed changes,
paying special attention to mask or keyword changes that may expose
experimental or unstable packages.

* I have already added the keyword changes and I've read the section about blocked packages, but I don't know what step to take from here (tried emerge --pretend but same happened)
[EDIT] Should I update sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20160331 to maybe linux-firmware-20170314 or something like that? |

The = sign is for a specific version. I had you unmask all versions. I see the firmware is in linux-firmware, so you should remove the unmask line.
The grep shows that the module exists, so try loading it with "modprobe -v iwlwifi", look for an error message and run dmesg to see if it reportas an error. If no errors you should have a wireless listing in "ifconfig -a".
It looks like your portage is messed up. Unless /etc/make.conf is a symlink to /etc/portage/make.conf (I do this) you shouldn't have both. Long ago /etc/make.conf was the file, now it's /etc/portage/make.conf. If you have two separate files, rename /etc/make.conf to /etc/make.conf.old and review both for any differences.
/usr/local/portage/metadata/layout.conf on my system: | Code: |
[local]
location=/usr/local/portage
priority=9999
masters = gentoo
auto-sync = no
|
"Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords: app-text/texlive-core-2015 "
I think it's saying you need the "=" here. but you should also change it to 2015-r1 as 2015 doesn't seem to exist anymore.
| Code: | # eix texlive-core
* app-text/texlive-core
Available versions: 2012-r1 ~2012-r3 ~2013-r3 2014-r4 2015-r1 2016-r5 2016-r6 ~2017-r2 2017-r3 {X cjk doc +luajittex source tk xetex}

WHOA! NEARLY TWO YEARS AGO! | Code: | | * Last emerge --sync was 1y 208d 6h 37m ago. |
VERY IMPORTANT - DO THIS BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE | Code: | | * IMPORTANT: 45 config files in '/etc/portage' need updating. |
NeddySeagoon seems to excel at updating old portages. Do you want to do that first or concentrate on wireless?
In any case, fix /etc/make.conf and run etc-update or dispatch-conf. dispatch-conf seems to be preferred but personally, I could never get the hang of it. After those see if manually loading the driver with modprobe works. Don't sync portage just yet because you will have a lot of breakage. But fix the errors that portage reported above.
I suggest posting a new help request about updating portage and continuing the wireless problem in this thread. |

JudithSamaniego ...
you can't have both linux-firmware and iwl3160-ucode installed at the same time (hence the "Block"), I assume because the former contains the later. Check under /lib/firmware, you may already have the required ucode.

I apologize for not answering fast, but i get busy sometimes with school... and time wasted on public transport 
Tony0945
I removed (commented) the line to unmask the iwl3160-ucode from package.unmask
trying to load iwlwifi with modprobe returns this
| Code: |
judypaws@GentooPC ~ $ sudo modprobe -v iwlwifi
insmod /lib/modules/4.4.6-gentoo/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'iwlwifi': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
|
dmesg returns all of this: http://bpaste.net/show/b5e3e7ebe513 (very helpful tool the wgetpaste [love it] , Thank you)
*In reference to the file /etc/make.conf, all there is in it is the line " PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage "
Should I rename it as you stated?
*I seen not to have a /usr/local/portage/metadata/layout.conf directory/file
* Added -r1 to the texlive-core keyword
This is first time I run etc-update
| Code: |
judypaws@GentooPC /etc/portage $ sudo etc-update
!!! Found 2 make.conf files, using both '/etc/make.conf' and '/etc/portage/make.conf'
!!! Repository 'x-portage' is missing masters attribute in '/usr/local/portage/metadata/layout.conf'
!!! Set 'masters = gentoo' in this file for future compatibility
Scanning Configuration files...
The following is the list of files which need updating, each
configuration file is followed by a list of possible replacement files.
1) /etc/portage/package.license (9)
2) /etc/portage/package.unmask (3)
3) /etc/portage/package.keywords/openssh (3)
4) /etc/portage/package.keywords/pivy (1)
5) /etc/portage/package.keywords/vtk-6.1.0-r2 (4)
6) /etc/portage/package.use/iputils (5)
7) /etc/portage/package.use/libxml2 (7)
Please select a file to edit by entering the corresponding number.
(don't use -3, -5, -7 or -9 if you're unsure what to do)
(-1 to exit) (-3 to auto merge all files)
(-5 to auto-merge AND not use 'mv -i')
(-7 to discard all updates)
(-9 to discard all updates AND not use 'rm -i'):
|
hahaha, I sure dont know what option to pick, my guess is -3, but, I dont know. Anyways, right now I would like to keep focus on the wireless issue (unless of course update is completly necessary). If by updating i'm going to have trouble (which personally I don't mind if there's no lost files), I prefer not to right now because I really need my wifi working asap. Not everywhere can my PC be plugged to ethernet and I have assigments to work on

I'm certainly no wifi expert but the dmesg complaints about missing symbols make me suspect the kernel.
run "ls -l /lib/modules/4.4.6-gentoo/modules.order:kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko"
and "uname -a"
The time and date should be very close (date should be the same). That's the time-date the module was built and the time-date the kernel was built. They should be no more than minutes different.
If they are not, rebuild the kernel and modules. Do you use genkernel or build from scratch? Do you have an initramfs?
Really hoping Khayyam will comment again.
If we are not making progress you can put sysrescuecd on a USB stick and boot, use network manager to get your connection then choot. You should then be in your installation with working wifi even if it is kludgy.
Portage stuff in next post.
EDIT:
Did you "rc-update del bluetooth" ?
On the Raspberry pi, bluetooth and wifi use the same device so you can't have them both at the same time. I don't know if that applies to your laptop also.

Portage stuff:
You can erase the one line /etc/make.conf. I'm a pack rat.
Well those 45 config changes boiled down to 7. Do not use -3 option. Instead step through the list and look at the changes offered. If you don't understand, choose the "skip" option to save for later.
I see they are all portage file changes which I've never seen from etc-update. Automatic update might wipe out your manual changes. |

* Ok I tried that command but it's not working, I deleted part of the line from ":kernel" and i got this:
| Code: |
judypaws@GentooPC ~ $ sudo ls -l /lib/modules/4.4.6-gentoo/modules.order:kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko
ls: cannot access /lib/modules/4.4.6-gentoo/modules.order:kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko: No such file or directory
judypaws@GentooPC ~ $ sudo ls -l /lib/modules/4.4.6-gentoo/modules.order
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 59236 Mar 12 16:25 /lib/modules/4.4.6-gentoo/modules.order
|
Then uname -a
| Code: |
judypaws@GentooPC ~ $ uname -a
Linux GentooPC 4.4.6-gentoo #1 SMP Fri Aug 19 13:48:41 Local time zone must be set--see zic x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
|
The times dont match nor are they close but i'm not sure if it's due to it not working at first (the version you provided me with)
* I used genkernel when installing it but have made some changes to it
* I guess i do have initramfs : looked the name on the root directories and theres a bunch of files including that name ("initramfs.mounts" for example)
* I have not rc-update del bluetooth but i just did and will see what happens 
* Deleted the line from /etc/make.conf
*have not yet done anything about the 45 config changes  |

start at /lib and drill down till you get your driver. I probably had a typo. I even had a typo while drilling down on my wireless system.
My driver is for the Atheros 9227, but I'm sure once you get down to "wireless" there will only be one entry. Your kernel won't be 4.4-115-gentoo either.
| Code: | k6 ~ # cd /lib
k6 /lib # cd modules
k6 /lib/modules # cd 4.4.115-gentoo
k6 /lib/modules/4.4.115-gentoo # cd kernel

k6 /lib/modules/4.4.115-gentoo/kernel/drivers # cd net
k6 /lib/modules/4.4.115-gentoo/kernel/drivers/net # cd wireless
k6 /lib/modules/4.4.115-gentoo/kernel/drivers/net/wireless # cd ath9k
-bash: cd: ath9k: No such file or directory
k6 /lib/modules/4.4.115-gentoo/kernel/drivers/net/wireless # ls
ath
k6 /lib/modules/4.4.115-gentoo/kernel/drivers/net/wireless # cd ath

Try rebuilding your kernel with "genkernel --menuconfig" Under "general setup->localversion" enter some string that will appended to the kernel name so we can keep them straight, maybe "judy2". |

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Sep 4 2014 /etc/make.conf -> /etc/portage/make.conf |
That's a symlink. Don't delete that.
Sorry if I'm being too basic. I don't know your knowledge of gentoo or linux. Better to be safe than sorry.
EDIT: BTW, what boot system are you using? Grub? refind? If it has a menu, once you have a working configuration you can save it with a menu entry so that you can experiment but always boot the known working version. I save three, but, as I said, I'm a pack rat. |

Haha it's ok for you to be very explicit, I'm no expert at linux haha I just know a couple stuff, so don't worry
back on track, i'm guessing it's is not s symlink
| Code: |
judypaws@GentooPC ~ $ ls -l /etc/make.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 35 Mar 13 18:41 /etc/make.conf
|
* so, I'll delete it.
* I followed the same directories as you (i though you wanted me to haha) so here it is
| Code: |
judypaws@GentooPC /lib/modules/4.4.6-gentoo/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k $ ls -l
total 17356
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1766078 Mar 12 16:25 ath9k_common.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3207950 Mar 12 16:25 ath9k_htc.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8369974 Mar 12 16:25 ath9k_hw.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4417502 Mar 12 16:25 ath9k.ko
|
* I remember installing grub2
* And before rebuilding with genkernel... It will create a copy right? I have configured some stuff on it becausenot everything worked with genkernel for me. It does sound interesting though, i understood it creates a copy of kernel configuration, I just wanna be sure
[EDIT] I entered to the /usr/src/linux directory, and hit ls
| Code: |
judypaws@GentooPC /usr/src/linux $ ls
arch crypto fs Kconfig mm net.wlo1 security virt
block distro include kernel modules.builtin README sound vmlinux
certs Documentation init lib modules.order REPORTING-BUGS System.map vmlinux-gdb.py
COPYING drivers ipc MAINTAINERS Module.symvers samples tools vmlinux.o
CREDITS firmware Kbuild Makefile net scripts usr
|
I get that BUT i never noticed net.wlo1 appears highlighed (in my case red background and white font)... is that normal?
[EDIT 2] hahaha hold on, you have Atheros i just realized i should be looking for mine  how dumb of me ... I'll look that up again
[EDIT 3]
Ok i have this
| Code: |
08:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 3165 (rev 81)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless AC 3165
Kernel modules: iwlwifi
|
And this
| Code: |
judypaws@GentooPC /lib/modules/4.4.6-gentoo/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi $ ls -l
total 5888
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 12 16:25 dvm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6017070 Mar 12 16:25 iwlwifi.ko
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 12 16:25 mvm
|
And about the kernel, Im not sure what to do : when i do sudo make menuconfing, should it be make genkernel --menuconfig or something like that? And the string you mean here?
| Code: |
(Judy2) Local version - append to kernel release │ │
│ │ [ ] Automatically append version information to the version string

JudithSamaniego ... the iwlwifi module is not that built with the currently booted kernel, so you've either rebuilt the kernel and not run 'make modules-install' or you've not copied the kernel to /boot after having done so (or prehaps you did but /boot wasn't mounted). This is the source of your problem, because currently the modules isn't getting loaded (and so all questions re firmware/ucode are moot at this present time). I notice also that your missing CONFIG_RFKILL, you should enable this, rebuild the kernel/modules, run 'make modules-install', and copy the vmlinuz (or bzImage) to /boot (making sure /boot is mounted if it's a seperate partition, and that the timestamp corresponds with the creation time).

This is the result of using '--autounmask-write', and not really understanding what it does, or what you need to do subsequently (ie, run 'etc-update' or 'dispatch-conf' to update the config). I'd suggest you don't use '--autounmask-write' without first understanding what it does (because it's a gateway to mixing stable/unstable ... and so skill/knowledge is required).
| JudithSamaniego wrote: | | khayyam, I checked it and here it is (I see multiple iwl3160-ucode) |
TIP: you don't need to 'cd' to run 'ls', you can also limit its output (and so not provide us will the entire contents of /lib/firmware but only those items relevant to the issue ... in short the signal to noise ratio should be kept low), eg:
| Code: | | # ls /lib/firmware/iwl* |
Anyhow, I expect that having linux-firmware you don't need to worry about iwl3160-ucode, and as I said above the current issue is the module failing to load.

Yes, it's a symbolic link, created as the result of an error on your part. You've tried to make a symlink (as per the networking documentation) but you didn't pay attention to the path, or your PWD.
| Code: | | # ln -sf /etc/init.d/net.lo /etc/init.d/net.wlo1 |
So, a little more care is required. As for genkernel, can't help in that regard, never used it.

As usual, Khayyam has explained it much better than me.
regarding the command to run genkernel, it would be "sudo genkernel --menuconfig"
If you prefer the other way (as I do) here is the script I use: | Code: | #!
cd /usr/src/linux
zcat /proc/config.gz >.config
# At this point we should compare kernel versions and make oldconfig if the base version has updated
make oldconfig
make menuconfig && make -j5 && make -j5 modules_install && make -j5 install && echo "Don't forget to update boot loader menu" |
"nano /usr/local/sbin/buildmykernel" cut and paste the script, after saving run "chmod a+x /usr/local/sbin/buildmykernel"
The -j5 is because it's running on a four core machine. My six core has -j7, my old 32bit single core has -j1. You don't need any "-jN" at all. It just tells make how many parallel threads to run to speed things up.
The "zcat" assumes that a copy of the configuration has been built into the kernel. I like to do this because it eliminates all doubt about the current running kernel. It's optional to keep the kernel size down, important for very old systems and embedded devices. Modern PC's and laptops have gobs of memory and disk space. If /proc/config.gz exists and is not empty, then you have the configuration built into the kernel.
"make oldconfig" will prompt you for selections on new CONFIG items. I mostly run this when emerge downloads a new kernel version, but it doesn't hurt if it's the same kernel version. it will just take a few seconds and do nothing.
When the "make menuconfig" runs you can make any configuration changes. On an update I usually just exit right away. In your case, I asked you to append a local string so that we can distinguish this kernel and module set.
The && is a logical AND so that if any command fails, the following commands will not execute. So if you don't see the "Don't forget..." message at the end, something went wrong.
This script is patterned after genkernel. Genkernel actually edits the grub menu for you which is why I suggested it. Genkernel also produces an initramfs which you probably don't need. Genkernel makes a somewhat bloated kernel and initramfs, but it's more fool-proof. Building by hand (or my script) is more efficient but it's easier to make a mistake.
Running sudo all the time like Ubuntu is annoying to me, so when doing system work, I usually work in a virtual terminal and execute "su -" which will prompt for the root password like sudo and change directory to /root. That makes it harder to make errors like you did with net.lo
I make a LOT of typos, hence I like scripts and GUI's.
Running genkernel straight will, I believe, give you a kernel with most everything enabled. Using genkernel --menuconfig let's you trim it. my script builds on what you have.
Oh! And as Khayyam said, be sure to enable rfkill. In the menuconfig type a slash followed by a config name (complete or partial) and menuconfig with put up a box showing where it is in the menu tree. So just type "/RFKILL" without the quotes to find where the menu item is. |

THANK YOU so much!!! Both were absolutlely right, /boot/ partition was not being mounted and have never noticed that.
*I mounted boot partition to boot directory and used genkernel --menuconfig all and let the kernel build itself. Now everything seems to be how it used to, wpa_supplicant is connecting although net.wlo1 fails to start, is connects to wifi even if it doesn't connect me to the internet just yet, but i guess i should just fix some other things in the kernel for it to work

Thanks Again Tony0945 & Khayyam  I'm guessing i should always mount boot from now on before making changes |

You are Welcome! Some people leave boot unmounted for fear of damage. I don't. My later installs don't even use a separate partition.
It's a common error. And welcome to Gentoo! Continue the thread if you have more trouble connecting, although Network Manager should handle it now.
When it's working, add [SOLVED] to the title of your original post. |

 hehe, well I've been trying but i just don't seem to get to it
| Code: |
judypaws@GentooPC ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/net.wlo1 restart
* /etc/init.d/net.wlo1 uses runscript, please convert to openrc-run.
* Bringing up interface wlo1
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlo1 ...
* start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant' [ !! ]
* ERROR: net.wlo1 failed to start
|
I then proceded to ask a friend, told me he believes it has to do with runscript being converted to openrc-run, but i'm not sure
* wpa_suppicant work fine apparently, as it now scans and connects to networks (but can't get to the internet)
* wlo1 appears on ifconfig :
| Code: |
judypaws@GentooPC ~ $ ifconfig
wlo1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.0.1.18 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.0.1.255

and iwconfig returns this now

* I checked Wifi Gentoo page https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Wifi to check the kernel configuration and I have it
Any Ideas?  |

JudithSamaniego ... by the looks of things you have both wpa_supplicant and net.wlo1 in the runlevel, this will cause net.wlo1 to fail, as there will already be an instance of wpa_supplicant running. If that is the case then remove wpa_supplicant from the runlevel, if not, then you need to provide the current configuration (/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and /etc/conf.d/net). It might also help to see what's currently in the runlevel (the output of 'rc-status default').

He is incorrect. That message is meant for package maintainers, but is shown to everyone. It is part of a misguided attempt to fix a trivial issue by causing massive churn in a large number of packages. It is harmless for you. You can ignore it. |
