Thank you Neil.

I'll buy a beer. This was it. 

modules_wlan0=( "wpa_supplicant" "iwconfig" ) is correct

Have a nice day/night whatever.

[gentoo-user] Wireless problem

[Rev. Ferris]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi!
I have a wireless problem.
I bought yesterday a Zyxel G202 USB stick and I attack it of my 
workstation.
This hardware is supported from zd1211rw driver.
I set all parameters of my network and I started it.
It works fine, pretty signal quality, good speed, etc.
After some "quiet" time, from my network monitor I noticed a lost in the 
connection.
Now, if I restart the connection it works fine, but after a X time it 
disconnects again.
I don't find any message on dmesg or /var/log/messages and for that 
reason I have no idea how I can solve the problem. I think it is 
something correlates with energy management.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Luigi

Hi,

Power saving, see man iwconfig (but I can't say more, I never touched it)

Unfortunately this card doesn't accept that command:

Any other suggestion?

how about
iwconfig eth2 power all
?  Perhaps you could write a postup script that pings slowly:
ping -i 30 your.isp.com

iwconfig eth2 power all doesnt't work:
#iwconfig eth2 power all
Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) :
    SET failed on device eth2 ; Operation not supported.
but I tried to put the zd1211rw driver in debug mode. When I lose the 
contact I read by dmesg or in /var/log/messages:
[...]
zd1211rw 5-7:1.0: iw_get_range()
zd1211rw 5-7:1.0: zd_mac_get_channel() channel 6
usb 5-7: handle_retry_failed_int() retry failed interrupt
[...]
Now I can't understand if it is a usb power or a driver problem.
How can I test it?
Thank a lots.

I have experienced the same signal drop after a while on an AP that I never 
had disconnection problems before.  I am using the rt2500usb in kernel driver 
and that's the only change that I recall.  Therefore, I assumed that the 
signal is dropped due to some driver behaviour, but have not had the time or 
knowledge to troubleshoot it further.

Thank you for bringing that up to my attention but that didn't solve it.

It seems that when I issue /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart wpa_supplicant.conf isn't taken into consideration.

Hi Dani,

your configuration file looks ok. To prior one ap more than another Iam using
the priority=<int> option in my wpa_supplicant.conf.
The second problem, that you're not able to connect to your wpa secured ap,
could be triggered by not compiled in gnutls. So please check if this useflag is
enabled.

Thank you.
Now I can connect to my wireless but only when I issue 
 wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
and then
 dhcpcd wlan0.
which means that wpa_supplicant.conf is ok

If I issue /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 it connects to the other wireless network.
Here is my /etc/conf.d/net

modules_wlan0=( "dhcp" "iwconfig" "wpa_supplicant")
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf"
essid_wlan0="baladei-wifi"
mode_wlan0="managed"
preferred_aps_wlan0=("baladei-wifi" "dlink")
assciate_order_wlan0="forcepreferedonly"
config_wlan0=("dhcp")

Are you sure you spelled forcepreferedonly correctly? I'd think there
is another 'r' in there: forcepreferredonly.

Btw., forcepreferred should suffice.

This is a bit of a guess, but try using 

modules_wlan0=( "wpa_supplicant" "iwconfig" )

dhcp is the default, so unnecessary and, although the docs are a little
vague on this, it appears that the order may matter.

Hy again,

Here is the new /etc/conf.d/net:

pre-up(){
 ifconfig wlan0 up
}

modules_wlan0=( "dhcp" "iwconfig" "wpa_supplicant")
essid_wlan0="any"
mode_wlan0="managed"

config_wlan0=("dhcp")

When I issue /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart it still connects to dlink and from the log file it seems that it ignores baladei-wifi:

Please don't top-post, it makes conversations difficult to follow and
impossible to quote meaningfully.

preferred_aps means that it will try that aps first, but if it fails, it
will then try dlink. You can force it to only use a specific aps with
essid_wlan0="baladei-wifi" but I susopect your problem is that the
connection to your preferred aps is failing and dlink being used as a
fallback.

The system log should show details of the connection process, try "tail
-f /var/log/messages" before you do "/etc/init.d/wlan0 start".

Try setting this to baladei-wifi

I'm not sure how the init script will react to the nested quotes
instead of parentheses here. The syntax in the examples is

preferred_aps_wlan0=( "baladei-wifi" "dlink" )

If the fixed net config doesn't help, try disabling WPA on the access
point and see if it then connects.

Look closer to home, specifically /etc/conf.d/wireless.example. More
specifically, the preferred_aps setting.

	How can I make it to authenticate to my "baladei-wifi"?

Please help because I didn't find anything on the web to solve my issue.

Look closer to home, specifically /etc/conf.d/wireless.example. More
specifically, the preferred_aps setting.

     preferred_aps="'baladei-wifi' 'dlink'"
     associate_order="forcepreferred"

That way it will first try baladei-wifi, and only if that doesn't
work, dlink. Notice that 'baladei-wifi' and 'dlink' are in single
quotes. See /etc/conf.d/net.example for more details.

[gentoo-user] wireless problem

[Jean Magnan de Bornier]

Hello all,
Using a Dell latitude x1, dual-boot with w$ xp; on my campus they have a
wireless network which I can access with my mail login and password. It
works without a problem on w$.
On my gentoo I installed wpa_supplicant with the following item in
the conf file:

network={
	ssid="Universite Paul Cezanne"
	identity="mylogin"
	password="mypassword"
	priority=5
}

Here mylogin and password are also (of course) what I enter to access the
network when on w$.

When I type "iwconfig" I obtain this:

eth1      IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"Universite Paul Cezanne"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: 00:12:DA:AE:5A:50   
          Bit Rate=54 Mb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm   
          Retry limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=91/100  Signal level=-37 dBm  Noise level=-80 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:5350   Missed beacon:0

Seems to indicate I am actually connected?

But then I can't access the network (firefox doesn't find anything).

Maybe it the identity/password which is not correct?

Thanks for any help,
--

this indicates you are associated with the AP whose mac address is
00:12:DA:AE:5A:50

next you have to make sure you have an ip address (ifconfig eth1) and
the necessary routing (route -n)

dhcp should set this up for you.

See what those two commands say for starters.

heres my /etc/conf.d/net might give you some pointers if you dont want to use 
dhcp...

config_ath0=( "192.168.2.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.0.255" )
routes_ath0=( "default gw 192.168.2.1" )
essid_ath0="belkin54g"
config_eth0=( "192.168.0.7" )

hth...

Oh! I though it was *my* mac address (flush)

OK, dhcpcd does the connection all right, and thanks for that; however I
still need to enter the user and password informations. I guess it might
be a provider matter?

cheers,
