[gentoo-user] iwlwifi & psk auth

[Sergey Kobzar <tod.zullu@gmail.com>]

I have iwl3945 card:

# dmesg | grep iwl
iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux, 1.1.17ks
iwl3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2007 Intel Corporation
iwl3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
iwl3945: Tunable channels: 13 802.11bg, 23 802.11a channels
phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'iwl-3945-rs'

And used http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_ipw3945 giud to setup my
wireless network.

My kernel is Linux 2.6.24-gentoo-r3.

Unfortunately I can't emerge iwlwifi (but maybe it's not required?):

# emerge -pv iwlwifi

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  NS   ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r10  USE="symlink -build" 44,216 kB
[ebuild  N    ] net-wireless/iwlwifi-1.2.23  USE="ipw3945 -ipw4965" 355 kB

Total: 2 packages (1 new, 1 in new slot), Size of downloads: 44,570 kB

- it wants gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r10, but I emerged iwl3945-ucode-2.14.1.5.


Also looks like it's impossible to get WPA-PSK working with iwlwifi
driver - I didn't find any success story in Google.

At the moment I have:

# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wmaster0  no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:""
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated
          Tx-Power=off
          Retry min limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr=2346 B
          Encryption key:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0


But can't get wpa_supplicant working.


Thanks for any help.
