I have a D-link Atheros based card, and here's what I do: 1. compile into the kernel all support items for wifi (not modules) 2. emerge all madwifi stuff (tools, driver), and dhcpcd 3. As root, type iwconfig ath0 This brings up the config list, but no essid, and the address is all zeros. then I type dhcpcd ath0 and it connects fine. If I redo the iwconfig ath0 command, it now lists the essid name of my wireless router (linksys), and the numerical isp address dhcpcd found. Hope this helps.

This is more or less what I used to do with the old driver that didn't cause kernel panics. Thank you. -- Pupeno <pupeno@pupeno.com> (http://pupeno.com) Reading ?

I've had the same problem here; using a 3com OfficeConnect (3CXJK10075 I think). I've just rebuild my laptop and used 0.1_pre20050809 and it didn't work. I tried different kernel settings, different versions of madwifi-driver and madwifi-tools, along with wireless-tools and wpa_supplicant. In the end I had to remove all the modules (rm -Rf /lib/modules) and reinstall all the modules before rebuilding wireless-tools, madwifi-driver, madwifi-tools in that order. - ----- * net-wireless/madwifi-driver Available versions: ~0.1_pre20050107 ~0.1_pre20050224 ~0.1_pre20050420 ~0. 1_pre20050809 Installed: 0.1_pre20050420 Homepage: http://madwifi.sourceforge.net/ Description: Wireless driver for Atheros chipset a/b/g cards * net-wireless/madwifi-tools Available versions: ~0.1_pre20050106 *0.1_pre20050107 ~0.1_pre20050420 Installed: 0.1_pre20050420 Homepage: http://madwifi.sourceforge.net/ Description: Wireless tools for Atheros chipset a/b/g cards * net-wireless/wireless-tools Available versions: 27-r1 ~28_pre8-r1 Installed: 28_pre8-r1 Homepage: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourr..

Thanks, that worked! (I haven't rebuild madwifi-tools though). -- Pupeno <pupeno@pupeno.com> (http://pupeno.com) Reading ?

(I haven't rebuild madwifi-tools though). I the end I just didn't care! :) I rebuilt/remove/reinstalled anything that was associated with the wireless system. However, it seams that removing the modules is the major step, as anything user /lib/modules is governed by the configuration protection system and therefore nothing will be deleted/removed on a unmerge or clean. -- Jonathan Wright <mail at djnauk.co.uk> // life has no meaning unless we can enjoy what we've been given // running gentoo ~ 2.6.12-gentoo-r6-djnauk-b2 i686 AMD Athlon XP 2100+ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
