Hello
Im trying to install the wireless card but wlan0 isnt available, the card is an Atheros and i have installed madwifi, but i cant find the device!
Please help here!

As far as i know you dont need madwifi. The ath drivers in kernel work good for my atheros.
I use in kernel drivers and networkmanager without a problem. |

Kernel recompiled with more options, but the device isnt inside /dev!

| Sorry didn't see you had the ifconfig already attached. Is it still the same with in kernel driver? |

Hi, can you post this :
| Code: |
# cd /usr/src
# ls -la
# cd /usr/src/linux
# cat .config | grep -i ath
# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
# iwconfig
# cat /etc/conf.d/net

Hi,
could you explain exactly what you did to solve the problem? I have the same problem - no wlan0 available in ifconfig. Modules ath5k, mac80211, ath and cfg80211 are loaded, Knoppix can connect to my WPA AP using these modules. Atheros AR2414 chip, kernel 2.6.33-gentoo-r2.
Thanks |

| I checked the ath5k device list, indeed such device is supported by that driver/module. Can you post the desg output after the module loading? |

for ath5k/ath9k
-enable cfg80211 (module)
-enable mac80211 (module)
-do not enable lib80211
-enable ath5k
-unmerge madwifi-ng if you've merged it. If you don't want to unmerge it, blacklist its modules (ath_pci, and i think ath_hal is a madwifi-ng one as well)
once you modprobe ath5k/ath9k
-cat /proc/net/dev
-cat /proc/net/wireless
-if your wireless card shows up in neither, check dmesg
Those are just general pointers. If you cover off all of the above and it still doesn't work, I can/will get more detailed/involved.
If indeed it does come to that
-dump your kernel .config on pastebin.com and share the link with us
-dump your entire dmesg output after doing the modprobe on pastebin.com and share that link with us
-paste the output of lsmod within the body of your post
ath5k/ath9k should more or less "just work" unless the kernel is setup incorrectly, or, if there are conflicting drivers already loaded.

I got it working now using net-misc/wicd. I do not know exactly what I did to get it right, but I removed 'config_wlan0 = ( "dhcp" )' in /etc/conf.d/net and put the following in /etc/.conf.d/rc:
| Code: |
RC_PLUG_SERVICES="net.wlan0 !net.eth0"
|
Maybe I created the symlink /etc/init.d/net.wlan0, or maybe wicd did this automatically.
However, the connection is unstable. After some minutes of inactivity I get disconnected and wicd does not restore the connection. Restart of the wicd service does not help, I have to manually restart net.wlan0.
When I am disconnected that way, the 2 wicd processes "wicd-daemon.py" and "monitor.py" are still running, but wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli not. I can see wlan0 in ifconfig. Isn't wicd supposed to restore the connection?
I have all kernel modules configured as you mentioned, "lsmod|grep ath" shows the modules ath5k, mac80211, ath and cfg80211.
This seems to be a problem with wicd or its configuration. The ethernet cable is normally unplugged.
Thanks for any help |

Here is some more output:
| Code: |
# cat /proc/net/dev

|
| Code: |

|
This is the case when wlan0 is working. When I am disconnected like I described in my previous post, I cannot see wlan0 in /proc/net/wireless, but in /proc/net/dev. |

Here is what happens in /proc/kmesg when the connection "times out" (complete AP ID obfuscated):
| Code: |

and when I do "/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart":
| Code: |

there's an option in the kernel under the wireless bits (Networking Options, not the drivers section) that says something to the effect of 'enable power saving by default' - disable that, rebuild, see how things go.

No change when I disable CONFIG_CFG80211_DEFAULT_PS.
I completely forgot to mention some error message when I manually restart wlan0:
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart

* Bringing down wlan0
* Shutting down wlan0 ... [ ok ]
* Starting wlan0

I have solved the problem by uninstalling wicd. Baseleyout's integrated hotplugging can manage the WiFi connection fine, I didn't know that. I also removed nearly all custom configuration for networking. My /etc/conf.d/net contains just
| Code: |
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
dns_domain_eth0="..."
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="ath5k"
|
domain name is just because I don't like the "localdomain" login prompt.
To prevent DHCP timeouts from slowing down the boot process (no ethernet cable plugged in), I blacklisted ethernet in /etc/conf.d/rc:
| Code: |
RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.eth0"
|
The WiFi connection does not seem to time out by inactivity. When I switch the AP off and back on, reauthentication is successfull. It takes a moment, but it works. I have to manually start net.eth0 when a network cable is attached, but I can live with that - it's just in case maintenance for WiFi is needed.
The installed DHCP client is net-misc/dhcpcd.
Thanks for any help. |

Hello gentoo fellow users,
I recently switched my parents' box under gentoo problem is I can not manage to get their Ath9k wifi to work under wicd.
Reading this all thread, I allready thank cach0rr0 for his piece of information, but I 'd appreciate more since
I could not disable lib80211 under "make menuconfig"

I'm allready giving many shots trying to get it to work and gathering every relevant part of information I could post if problem were not on kernel side.
Please help me,

Got close look to a section in menuconfig related to that LIB:
| Code: | Selected by:
HOSTAP [=y] && NETDEVICES [=y] && WLAN [=y]
IPW2100 [=n] && NETDEVICES [=y] && WLAN [=y] && PCI [=y] && CFG80211 [=m]
IPW2200 [=n] && NETDEVICES [=y] && WLAN [=y] && PCI [=y] && CFG80211 [=m] && CFG80211_WEXT [=y]
LIBIPW [=n] && NETDEVICES [=y] && WLAN [=y] && PCI [=y] && CFG80211 [=m]
LIBERTAS [=n] && NETDEVICES [=y] && WLAN [=y] && CFG80211 [=m]
|
grep'ed my .config :
| Code: | CONFIG_HOSTAP=y
CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y
CONFIG_WLAN=y
# CONFIG_IPW2100 is not set
# CONFIG_IPW2200 is not set
CONFIG_PCI=y
CONFIG_CFG80211=m
CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT=y
LIBIPW ????? returns no result
# CONFIG_LIBERTAS is not set
|
Of course most of those conditions validate, so I do not see logical end.
Using 2.6.37 gentoo-sources |

I finally came to deselect lib80211, so I understand a _bit_ more kernel config's things.
Still I get that boring error : ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
Before I go to hundred time check my kernel, I'd like to make something clear:
| Quote: | cach0rr0:
-unmerge madwifi-ng if you've merged it. If you don't want to unmerge it, blacklist its modules (ath_pci, and i think ath_hal is a madwifi-ng one as well) |
I have never installed such a module ; but shall I remove wpa_supplicant's madwifi use flag ?
Any advice welcome
