How's it going VinzC, looks like we'll be working together again, my E1705 just showed up.

Oh great :-) . Glad you made up your mind. I was away a couple of days so couldn't answer immediately.

Anyways, trying to follow the pure ebuild path, I could never get the ipw3945 to compile correctly. This was attempted with many different configurations with kernels 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 and 2.6.16-gentoo. Both of them I also tried with built in ieee80211 built in / modules and also trying with the ~x86 version of ieee80211. Each time I tried again I rebuild the sources. During the ebuild of ieee80211, I would remove the headers with the command above.

Aha. That is wierd. I'm going to check it out with a new kernel source tree, see if it happens too.

In the end, I ended up using the kernel patch on the 2.6.16-rc6-mm2 kernel. I built the ipw3945 as modules and the ieee80211 into the kernel. Just a note that I had the ieee80211 not emerged (I unmerged ieee80211 before emerging mm-sources). Once that was done, I then used the ipw3945_ebuilds specified above. Difference is, I only emerged ipw3945-firmware and ipw3945d (since the driver was built through the kernel patch, I did not need the ipw3945 ebuild).

With that configuration, I was able to get everything working great. I haven't had it working long enough to test to make sure that the connection remains stable. My Wireless LED does not stay on, but flashes with wireless activity (which I personally like a lot better anyways).

On a side note, the 2.6.16-rc6-mm2 does have some nice features added to it already, like the sd reader and a cpu scheduler just for multi-core systems.

If that works with that source tree I might as well try it too. Note my WiFi LED flashes sometimes only. It might vary from time to time but I can see it flash rapidly or slowlier. I don't know what it's depending on but there is a flashing description in the driver manual IIRC.

If the LED is flashing slowly and is off most of the flashing cycle then it is initializing the driver. When it flashes on/off with equal periods then the network script is starting.

For those of you that previously owned the Inspiron 6000 which had the Intel 2200, have you noticed a decrease in range with the 3945? Didn't realize it last night, but I'm not able to get as good as a signal as I did with the 2200 in my house.

No, I didn't. I'm using a Belkin 54g Access Point and the signal is excellent all the time. I'll check bigger distances. However I experienced my first WiFi disconnection at work last week. I had to unload/reload the driver module and things were back on. I'll watch it out.

The distances was pretty far, I should mention. I'm using the LinkSys Wireless G Wireless Access Point. It's in the basement of our house and I'm in our bedroom which is on the second floor. My wifes computer won't reach that high and neither will the E1705 too well (off and on), but the 6000 never had an issue up there.

With my access point I can go up to the third floor and the signal is still good. The floors (traditional) are all made of wood, not of concrete. Belkin has a technology for passing through tough walls and floors made of concrete. You might consider it for your wife's computer ;) .

Followed VinzC's instructions.

Code:
 modprobe ipw3495
FATAL: Module ipw3495 not found.


Everything appeared to work until the point I typed modprobe. Is there something I should do between the emerge -av ipw3495 and the modprobe?[/quote][/code]

*edit* please feel free to suggest the obvious. I've been playing with Gentoo for about 4 days now so am at a pretty novice level. I figured the best way to learn was to dive right on in :)

Did you get any error message while compiling ipw3945? Did you recently upgrade your kernel sources? What's your current kernel (run uname -r)? Have you removed your kernel's bult-in support for ieee80211 by running shell script /usr/portage/net-wireless/ieee80211/files/remove-old?

You must reinstall the driver each time you install a new kernel source tree, for instance. module-rebuild list and module-rebuild rebuild does help you know what modules need to be reinstalled.

Version 0.0.73 is out ! I would have updated the svn, but I don't know how to do it :/

I also found why the ebuilds wouldn't work with ieee80211 from portage. It's because it doesn't find the ieee80211.h in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/include. In fact they are in /usr/include. I just added IEEE80211_INCLUDEDIR=/usr/include (if I remember clearly) to the ebuild, in front of the function that compiles the module, and it worked flawlessly :)

No error when compiling, a few warnings. Is there a way I can force a recompile so I can post a dump?

It's a fresh install of 2.6.15-gentoo-r5 from the LiveCD. I've removed ieee80211 with the script, followed your post down to the modprobe. I've triped a emerge --sync and emerge --update --deep world

Here's the result from module-rebuild:

Code:
gloin ~ # module-rebuild list
** Packages which I will emerge are:
        =net-wireless/ipw3945-0.0.69
        =net-wireless/ieee80211-1.1.13
gloin ~ # emerge ipw3495
Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "ipw3495".

gloin ~ # module-rebuild rebuild
** Preparing to merge modules:
** Packages which I will emerge are:
        =net-wireless/ipw3945-0.0.69
        =net-wireless/ieee80211-1.1.13
5 4 3 2 1
Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=net-wireless/ipw3945-0.0.69".

gloin ~ #


I'm guessing that means I still have something to do, but I'm not quite sure what...

Just tried following the steps again from the start yet now I get:

Code:
gloin ipw3945 # /usr/portage/net-wireless/ieee80211/files/remove-old
bash: /usr/portage/net-wireless/ieee80211/files/remove-old: Permission denied
gloin ipw3945 #


Is this because it's gone already or did I break something?

And this may help diagnosing:

Code:
gloin downloads # slocate ipw3945

Just tried following the steps again from the start yet now I get:

The remove-old script is not chmod-ed +x, you need to run

Code:
/bin/sh /usr/portage/net-wireless/ieee80211/files/remove-old /usr/src/linux

Run the script, no change.

Tried a genkernel --menuconfig all and selected ieee.....

Ran the remove script again, it removed it.

Still no change on modprobe and I am no longer able to emerge -av ipw3945.

Redownloaded the bz2 file as VinC says at the start and unzipped to back to the areas. Run an emerge --regen and tried to search for (emerge -s) ipw3945 - nothing found....

It's vanished!!!

My only net access is wireless, so I can't connect to the net from gentoo to get these drivers, is there a way I can copy them to cd and then just make them in gentoo?

Ok people here are some new ebuilds for people to play with.... Thanks again VinzC for starting this project.

New
  • svn to make updates easier
  • requires in-kernel IEEE80211 subsystem
  • corrected paths so downloads dont fail
  • ditched the license
  • ipw3945d includes rc-script
  • useflags for QoS and RFmon


Setup
Code:
echo 'PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/ipw3945_ebuilds $PORTDIR_OVERLAY"' >> /etc/make.conf
cd /usr/local
svn co http://opensvn.csie.org/rmh3093/ipw3945_ebuilds


Install
Code:
USE="monitor qos" emerge ipw3945

Kismet dosen't support the ipw3945 yet but it does support the ipw2200 which uses radiotap, the same headers the ipw3945 for monitor mode so kistmet can be setup like this
Quote:

Just tried this method on a brand new livecd 2006.0 install of Gentoo. I have emerge --sync'ed, emerge gentoo-source and then followed the aboves. On the emerge - this is what happened...

Code:
gloin local # USE="monitor qos" emerge ipw3945

Update:

1.Just cd'ed to /usr/src/linux and ran make menuconfig

added ieee802.11 support under networking

and under device drivers - network device - non hamradio

then exited and saved the config

2. make oldconfig
3. make modules_prepare


Now I get:

Code:

 ERROR: ieee80211.h not found in '/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r5/include'.

 You need to install the ieee80211 subsystem from http://ieee80211.sf.net
 and point this build to the location where you installed those sources, eg.:

 % make IEEE80211_INC=/usr/src/ieee80211/

 will look for ieee80211.h in /usr/src/ieee80211/net/

make: *** [check_inc] Error 1

Version 0.0.73 is out ! I would have updated the svn, but I don't know how to do it :/

I also found why the ebuilds wouldn't work with ieee80211 from portage. It's because it doesn't find the ieee80211.h in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/include. In fact they are in /usr/include. I just added IEEE80211_INCLUDEDIR=/usr/include (if I remember clearly) to the ebuild, in front of the function that compiles the module, and it worked flawlessly :)

Ah, that's interresting: do you mean you can now use kernel built-in ieee80211 drivers and not the ones from portage anymore? Could you please post your modified ebuild so I can update mine accordingly?

Thanks a lot for the info.

Do you have a USB data storage key? If not you can download my ebuild set and the tarballs from sourceforge then burn them on a CDROM. The tarballs must go into /usr/portage/distfiles. Then extract the ebuild into their overlay directory.

I've now been banging away at this for some time. If anyone has any advice please let me know. I'm sure it's something simple....

@sprognak:

I suggest you wiped out your current kernel tree (of course booting from a previous one that worked) and redo all the steps I mentionned to the letter. I'm sure something was messed up in the way. If you follow my howto to the letter no extra steps are required and if you have the slightest little error message again, please post.

So boot up with a previously working kernel, unmerge your latest kernel tree and rm -r it to be sure. Then emerge it again and follow the howto. I've done the same steps with Gentoo Sources 2.6.15-r7 and it worked like a charm.

Note: /usr/src/linux must point to the kernel tree you are compiling against. You'll also be required to compile it once before you can add ipw3945 drivers.

Do you have a USB data storage key? If not you can download my ebuild set and the tarballs from sourceforge then burn them on a CDROM. The tarballs must go into /usr/portage/distfiles. Then extract the ebuild into their overlay directory.


I have a USB key, ill give it a go as soon as I manage to get this damned GUI installer working, cheers for the help

What are these -r1 suffixes? Have you renamed the ebuilds in your overlay directory? You don't have to rename them as ebuilds in the overlay take precedece over portage. So you can simply copy the ebuilds into the overlay directory and emerge.

I also advise you to unmerge everything that relates to ipw3945 and restart all over again. The only one case you have to rename an ebuild is when an upgrade version is available from CVS or Sourceforge, like I did with ipw3945.ebuild.

Well I think I'm closer...

I rebooted to r5, unmerged r7, rm -r on the r7 source dir. Then I re-emerged r7

Checked the src/linux symlink was now going to r7, then did a genkernel --menuconfig all.

Then I checked the time/datestamp on the /boot kernel image to make sure it updated and rebooted into the new kernel.

Followed your instructions to the letter and got further:

Code:
gloin ~ # emerge -av ipw3945

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Hmmm... It looks like ieee80211 has not been linked correctly. Have you run
Code:
/bin/sh /usr/portage/net-wireless/ieee80211/files/remove-old /usr/src/linux
before you emerged the package from portage?

First try to remove ipw3945 (only that one) and ieee80211. Next run
Code:
/bin/sh /usr/portage/net-wireless/ieee80211/files/remove-old /usr/src/linux
and emerge both again. Note wireless tools must be present before all packages are merged but at least you've gone one step further. When I compiled ieee80211 I got a couple of warnings. So I'm surprised you didn't get any.

Yep, I ran the script to kill the old stuff from the kernel before the emerge of ipw3945. This is becoming very frustrating...
