Hello,

After years without any hardware issues under gentoo I have now a problem getting my Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (rev 35) network adapter working.
I would be very happy if anybody has an idea what is going wrong.

Here the problem:
Quote:
iwconfig wlp2s0
wlp2s0 no wireless extensions.

Quote:
iwlist wlp2s0 scan
wlp2s0 Interface doesn't support scanning.

So clearly also wicd cannot scan for netoworks... :(

Here some info about the system setup which I collected while searching for solutions around the web:
Quote:
$ uname -r
3.8.13-gentoo

Quote:
dmesg | grep -E "(wlan0|wlp2s0)"
[ 3.601438] systemd-udevd[1286]: renamed network interface wlan0 to wlp2s0
[ 5.579371] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp2s0: link is not ready

Quote:
ethtool -i wlp2s0
driver: iwlwifi
version: 3.8.13-gentoo
firmware-version: 9.221.4.1 build 25532
bus-info: 0000:02:00.0
supports-statistics: yes
supports-test: no
supports-eeprom-access: no
supports-register-dump: no
supports-priv-flags: no

Quote:
grep IWL /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_IWLWIFI=m
CONFIG_IWLDVM=m
# CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TRACING is not set
# CONFIG_IWLWIFI_P2P is not set
CONFIG_IWLEGACY=m
CONFIG_IWL4965=m
CONFIG_IWL3945=m
# CONFIG_IWLEGACY_DEBUG is not set

Quote:
grep WEXT /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_WEXT_CORE=y
CONFIG_WEXT_PROC=y
CONFIG_WEXT_SPY=y
CONFIG_WEXT_PRIV=y
CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT=y

Quote:
grep WIRELESS_EXT /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=y


BUT:

Quote:
iw wlp2s0 scan
... (working!)

Solved the problem by switching to "NL80211":

Enabled CONFIG_NL80211 in kernel config.
Selected nl80211 in wicd as driver.
