iwl3945 not running at bootup [solved]

[siamect]

Dear All
A few days ago after the update world I got two problems:

1. The wifi iwl3945 is not running automatically when I boot. The blue led on the wifi button is on but I get no IP until I press the button off and on again. This is ok but I wonder why?
2. When I try to shut down the computer the computer stops saying "hwclock: waiting for localmount". It takes a few minutes before it goes down repeating this message over and over again...

Thanks and Merry X-mas....

[defenderBG]

the led shows that there is power output to the anthena, not that the wireless in linux is started. post ifconfig so that we can see what is happening under the hood. what dmesg for something interesting.

I have no idea on the second problem.

Hi, can you post this plz :

Code: Select all

# emerge --info
# equery list iwl
# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig
# lsmod
# dmesg | grep -i iwl

[siamect]

Merry X-mas and Thanks for your help all...

Turns out, the link is up, but for some reason dhcp client doesn't run after it is started. If I manually run "sudo dhcpcd wlan1" it works fine.
I have the config_wlan1=( "dhcp" ) in the /etc/conf.d/net.
In the beginning this line was commented out and it worked anyway. Now it doesn't, there or not...


here's the vomit:

Hi, you have something wrong with your udev config.

Can you post this plz :

Code: Select all

# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
# equery list ipw
# cat /etc/conf.d/net

If you use the iwl3945 driver, then you should have only wlan0.

[siamect]

here it is:


martin@MATACILT ~ $ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

Code: Select all

# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules

# 
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single line.

Remove all except your eth0 line



And for your /etc/conf.d/net, try that :

Remove all the line and you need just that :

Code: Select all

modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_wlan0_="-Dwext"
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )

After that, reboot your box and try that :

Code: Select all

# cd /etc/init.d && ls-la

Code: Select all

# /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart
# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig

[siamect]

Thanks for your help.
Not much different than before wlan1 became wlan0 as expected but no ip at bootup

So still the same until /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart
then I receive an IP and it's working again
here is the result:

Hi, ok we will try this :

Code: Select all

# rm /etc/init.d/net.wlan0
# rm /etc/init.d/net.wlan1
# cd /etc/init.d
# ln -s net.lo net.wlan0
# rc-update show
# rc-update add net.wlan0 default

After that reboot your box.

And then, run this :

Code: Select all

# wpa_cli status
# iwconfig
# ifconfig -a

Your Wifi should start automagically.

[siamect]

Thanks for all help but sorry... it didn't work...
still have to manually restart wlan0

Merry Christmas
Martin

That's weird.

After a fresh reboot, can you post this :

Code: Select all

# rc-update show
# rc-update status net.wlan0 

[siamect]

Here is the result after a clean boot... the last command didn't work.
I also added the restart of the wlan after so you can see how it behaves...

Thanks again for your help
Merry Christmas!

You may consider upgrading openrc from 0.4.0 to 0.4.1, and refering to its Changelog for details: http://roy.marples.name/node/458

[siamect]

Yes well ... don't know what happened but I usually do update almost every day and I did yesterday, and now it works again and openrc is updated.
Nice Christmas gift...

Now only the hwclock problem at shutdown is still there, but I can live with that...


Big Thank You to all who has contributed.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Martin
