 Posted: Thu Sep 08, 2022 8:53 pm Post subject: [unsolved] rtl8192cu loads but isn't working as it should be |
 |
|
I am having issues connecting to the internet. The driver rtl8192cu is detected and loads up. I can connect to my router no problem using iwctl
'ping -c 3 www.gentoo.org' won't work but 'ping 8.8.8.8' works. emerge --sync works but emerge-webrsync --revert=20220907 won't work. After a long time it will output 20220907 file not found when it should be there
I tried with and without the main.conf and the same result. I found this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration/Wireless#Ralink/Mediatek and it talks about the realtek driver which I have. It concerns me and I am thinking i am having the same issue but on a different scale
If you need any more information please just ask, thanks

Plz post
| Code: |
dmesg | grep -i firmware
equery l linux-firmware
grep -i rtl8192cu /usr/src/linux/.config
|
Name resolution?
Try
| Code: |
echo "nameserver 1.1.1.1" >> /etc/resolv.conf
|

You must have some kind of magic touch cause after adding 1.1.1.1 to my resolv.conf, emerge-webrsync --revert=20220907 worked like a charm 
But here's the requested files:
This is the equery http://ix.io/49Zv
This is the firmware: http://ix.io/49Zw
I am running my kernel from the gentoo-kernel bin and it loads my drivers in and it loads in the openrc. Doesn't make any since when this is systemd. My kernel 5.15.59 does not load in rtl8192cu and I have been avoiding it because of some errors. What do i need to add to make it add the driver in? |

Everything is ok.
So you are in systemd.What are you using for network management?
Netifrc or networkmanager or systemd-networkd?
Plz post
| Code: |
cat /etc/conf.d/net
and
nmcli con show
and
ls /etc/systemd/network
|
For the time being AFTER connecting to your wifi net via iwctl plz run
| Code: |
ip a add 192.168.1.10/24 dev <wlan0> #name of wifi adaptor
ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev <wlan0> # router ip
|
And make sure you have a nameserver entry in /etc/resolv.conf
Plz adapt the above commands to reflect your LAN.
If on the other hand you use no network manager and only connect to your home wifi then you can use a small script to connect.
Something like
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
/etc/init.d/iwd start
iwctl device list || exit
iwctl station wlan0 scan || exit
if iwctl station wlan0 connect <ssid>;then
ip a add 192.168.2.3/24 dev wlan0
ip route add default via 192.168.2.1
#echo "nameserver 1.1.1.1" > /etc/resolv.conf
fi
|
iwd should already have a file for your network in /var/lib/iwd so the above is sufficient
I only use ethernet.
In the rare case i need to connect to my wifi i use this.
Or you can appent to your /var/lib/iwd/<network file>
| Code: |
[IPv4]
Address=
Netmask=
Gateway=

@alamahant,
I have dhcpcd installed and I thought that was my network manager. I guess I am wrong and I need to install one because I won't be just connecting to my home network
Here's /etc/conf.d/net: http://dpaste.com/8G3CZ42PK
Doesn't work and i am assuming because it's something to do with network manager which I don't have installed right now after this reply[/code]
Here's the dmesg:
http://dpaste.com/7T8RZCWJB
I have not done anything with /var/lib/iwd/<network file> instead I have my config here /etc/iwd/main.conf
Here's the output: http://dpaste.com/6A7LXHFAK
running this:
| Code: |
ip address show <-- to find my ip address
ip a add <my address here/24> dev wlan0
|
Outputs unknown ip address
However running:
| Code: |
ip route add <my ip address> dev wlan0
|
worked for some reason. I don't know why. I grabbed my ip address that's near the "inet" word and ends with /24 |

I followed these links and set up sytstemd-resolved and systemd-networkd: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd-resolved https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd-networkd
This is what I did:
| Code: |
ln -rsf /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
|
| Code: |
nano -w /etc/systemd/network/25-wireless.network
|
| Code: |
[Match]
Name=wlan0
[Network]
DHCP=yes
Address=<my ip address>
IgnoreCarrierLoss=3s
|
| Code: |
nano -w /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/dns_servers.conf
|
| Code: |
[Resolve]
DNS=1.1.1.1
Domains=~.
|
Finally
| Code: |
systemctl enable systemd-networkd
systemd enable systemd-resolved
|
Which now if i run and if I ran the command again after rebooting
It still connects without any issue
I'm going to mark this as solved as I have another issue. |

Ok for NM plz disable
| Code: |
iwd wpa_supplicant dhcpcd systemd-networkd and systemd-resolved
|
Try to build NM with USE="-iwd"
Then you need to START and enable the service.
If you are going to use NM for wifi it is easiest to
| Code: |
emerge -av gnome-extra/nm-applet
|

| Just curious, if I am connecting to the internet just fine without any issues using namerserver 1.1.1.1 and not the recommended one along with a Network Manager and the right DNS for my device, is it still needed to continue troubleshooting? |

No.
Just that nm-applet is very convenient if you will be connecting to many different wifi.
Otherwise all is ok.

| If you continue to use 1.1.1.1, then all your DNS queries go to that server and are visible to everyone on the path to that server. Additionally, you may get worse performance from DNS using that server instead of a caching resolver that is logically closer to you. |

| I tried using my own ip address and it didn't work. So I changed out 1.1.1.1 back to the default. All I had to do is add DNSSEC= false and change resolvconf to systemd for my iwd. However I believe I have support for DNSOverTLS |

Never mind it only works for a bit and systemd-resolve gives me:
| Code: |
Failed to send hostname reply: Transport endpoint is not connected
|
I also get these errors with iwd:
| Code: |
resolve-systemd Failed to modify the DNS enteries. org.freedesktop.resolve1.LinkBusy: Link wlan0 is managed
resolve-systemd Failed to modify the domains entries. org.freedesktop.resolv1.LinkBusy: Link wlan0 is managed

Then just disable systemd-resolved.And just use /etc.resolv.conf manually.
If you are going places and wish to connect to wifi on the go then Just use
NM and applet.
