Wifi Intel 5100 - iwlagn - SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132

dudumomo · Post by **dudumomo** » Fri Jul 02, 2010 8:25 am

Hello everyone !

I am quite a beginner with Gentoo, even if I've been using it 2 years...

I wanted to connect my PC:

Linux gentoo 2.6.31-gentoo-r6 #10 SMP Thu Jul 1 22:29:04 CEST 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9400 @ 2.53GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

with an intel 5100 on gentoo-light

to my wireless router.

But when I try to "wake up" my wireless card, with the command ifconfig I got the following error:

Code: Select all

ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132

Any idea ?

PS:
iwl5000-ucode-8.24.2.12 and wireless-tools-29 are installed

In the file /etc/conf.d/net, I got:

Code: Select all

modules=( "iwconfig" )
config_wlan0=( "dhcp" )
essid_wlan0="any"

And if I try:

Code: Select all

gentoo linux # /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start 
 * Caching service dependencies ...                                       [ ok ]

Thank you for your help !!

do you have wpa_supplicant installed and configured?

might go that route instead of the iwconfig route.

Thanks for your reply.

I've tried with wpa_supplicant, and this time, I'am able to scan the wireless network.
I've installed wicd to help me to configure my network, but I cannot obtain an IP...it still doesn't work...

What should I check/do ?

Thank you !

Hi, we will try it the manual way.

Code: Select all

# rc-update del wicd boot

Now restart your box and post this :

Code: Select all

# /etc/init.d/wlan0 restart
# ifconfig -a
# iwconfig
# wpa_cli status
# dmesg | tail

Also, can you post this :

Code: Select all

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

remove anything related to networking from your startup
then assuming you have a wpa_supplicant.conf configured:

Code: Select all

wpa_supplicant -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /your/path/to/wpa_supplicant.conf

post any errors

if no errors then try:

Code: Select all

dhcpcd wlan0

post back with any errors

dudumomo · Post by **dudumomo** » Sat Jul 03, 2010 11:43 am

Hi again.

Here is my wpa_supplicant.conf:

Code: Select all

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ap_scan=0
#update_config=1

network={
	ssid="GPhone"
	key_mgmt=NONE
}

I don't have any password for the connection.

When I run:

Code: Select all

gentoo dudumomo # wpa_supplicant -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

I don't have any info, just waiting. I have to press CTRL+C to stop the command.

And the command dhclient while the previous is still running:

Code: Select all

gentoo dudumomo # dhclient wlan0

ETC...

Same thing if I stop the command wpa_supplicant -Dwext

....

Thank you for your help !!

I found your problem :

Code: Select all

# cd /etc/init.d
# rm net.wlan*
# ln -s net.lo net.wlan0

Now retry :

Code: Select all

# /etc/init.d/wlan0 restart 
# ifconfig -a 
# iwconfig 
# wpa_cli status 
# dmesg | tail

oRDeX · Post by **oRDeX** » Sat Jul 03, 2010 11:17 pm

the 132 error is the rfkill error, so before taking up the interface you should disable it.
Anyway wpa_supplicant can handle it correctly (so don't worry about the messages while running net.wlan0 start).
What I think is that such card is really new, so it would be better to use a recent kernel like .34 or your version but with the "compat-wireless" package

Post by **NeddySeagoon** » Sat Jul 03, 2010 11:30 pm

The rfkill error comes in two sorts,

You don't have it but you need it. You don't need it but you have it.
Its in two parts, a kernel option called rfkill and a user space tool emerge rfkill.

You either need neither or both. Its trial and error to see which group you fall into

Yeah, I noticed that too, maybe he should try kernel 2.6.34 and after compiling his kernel, he should run this :

Code: Select all

# rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
# emerge -av iwl5100
# reboot

I'm sure that the wmaster0 will be gone for good and he will have only the wlan0 interface

Okay, I understand my first mistake. (I guess I did cp net.lo net.wlan0 instead of making a link.

But, I still have the same problem.
Impossible to get an IP (I've tried with wicd)

So, you suggest me to update my kernel... Yeah, I planned to reinstall my system soon, but as I am in 56k connection...I'm still waiting to get my new connection.

After upgrading and compiling my new kernel (linux-2.6.34-gentoo-r1), and running the following commands:
# rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
# emerge -av iwl5000-ucode
# reboot

I don't see any changes...

By the way, in the kernel, there is a module for my intel 5100 !! (Good news) but still not working.

As I've deleted the 70-persistent file, I don't have it anymore. Emerging iwl5000-ucode was supposed to create one ?

Ok, no problem, with kernel 2.6.33 or higher, you will have only wlan0.

Indeed, I do.
But it is still not working.
(I'm going tomorrow to the "Rencontre Mondiale du Logiciel Libre" in Bordeaux - France, so I will not have the time to check further, but I will do it after)

Thank you
