Dear all,

I've tested gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r3 and I found out, that my ipw2100 with wpa_supplicant dont work any longer.

On /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start i get the following:

Code: Select all

 * Starting eth1
 *   Starting wpa_supplicant on eth1 ...
ioctl[SIOCSIWPMKSA]: Operation not supported
ioctl[IPW_IOCTL_WPA_SUPPLICANT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[IPW_IOCTL_WPA_SUPPLICANT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[IPW_IOCTL_WPA_SUPPLICANT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[IPW_IOCTL_WPA_SUPPLICANT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[IPW_IOCTL_WPA_SUPPLICANT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[IPW_IOCTL_WPA_SUPPLICANT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[IPW_IOCTL_WPA_SUPPLICANT]: Operation not supported       [ ok ]
 *     timed out                                                                            [ !! ]

my ieee80211 and ipw2100 modules are loaded.

any ideas what's going on there?

I don't know, as I can't even get that far. I tried to emerge ipw2100, hostap_driver, and ieee80211 as usual after a kernel upgrade, and neither ipw2100 or ieee80211 even compile. I'm guessing the wireless support is just busted under 2.6.13-r3.

i have the same problem i posted it earlier mine compiles, well i have kernel-2.6.13-r1 but i get the same ioctl error when trying to use wpa_supplicant

Code: Select all

Linux acer 2.6.13-gentoo-r2 #1 Tue Sep 27 16:02:57 CEST 2005 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1400MHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Same Problem, but Card is working with WEP or unencrypted.

I've just hit this exact same problem. I can't even get IPW2100 or IEEE80211 to compile after merging 2.6.13-r3.

I've submitted bug reports available at: [bug=108608]108608[/bug] and [bug=108613]108613[/bug]

Oh well. The upgrade will have to wait.

At first my ieee80211 did not emerge as well. But during emerge it said

Code: Select all

 * Determining the location of the kernel source code
 * Found kernel source directory:
 *     /usr/src/linux
 * Found sources for kernel version:
 *     2.6.13-gentoo-r3
 * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options:
 *
 * You kernel source contains an incompatible version of the
 * ieee80211 subsystem, which needs to be removed before
 * ieee80211-1.0.3 can be installed. This can be accomplished by running:
 *
 *   # rm -i /usr/src/linux/include/net/ieee80211.h
 *
 * Please note that this will make it impossible to use some of the
 * in-kernel IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN drivers (eg. orinoco).

So I removed the include file, disabled all wireles drivers (not wireless support at all) in the kernel config file and made a new kernel.

Afterwards ieee80211 and ipw2100 etc. emerged successfully, but still there is this issue with wpa_supplicant.

I am using the ~x86 versions of ipw2100, ieee80211, and wpa_supplicant

I have filed the wpa_supplicant bug#[bug=]108891[/bug]

From the forum:

wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dipw"

in /etc/conf.d/net has changed to

wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dwext"

That solved it for me.

Thanks! That fixed things for me too. (My compilation problems were solved by removing that .h file too).
