[gentoo-user] iwlwifi & psk auth

[Sergey Kobzar]

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.

But can't get wpa_supplicant working.


Thanks for any help.

Hi,

Welcome to the club :) 
I'm sucking with iwlwifi with the same environment like yours.
Without success.

iwlwifi is included in the latest kernel (2.6.24.x).
Check your kernel config.
I will send you my config file for the same kernel version in a private mail.

Sorry, I also haven't got solution for this.

I can see some APs around me, but I cannot connect to them.
I tried with Wlassistant, the result is above.

I cannot setup the mode. Really weird and I get hate this bloody wifi
card. Ok, I guess, this is my fault, but I cannot find solution using
google.

Cheers,
István

Then you haven't read mine^^. I actually have it working beautifully with
WPA-PSK and unencrypted. Here's my wpa_supplicant.conf and my /etc/conf.d/net
(with passwords removed, of course^^):

/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel

    pairwise=TKIP
    group=TKIP

}


network={
    ssid="lrz"
    key_mgmt=NONE
    priority=500
}

network={
    key_mgmt=NONE
    priority=0
}

/etc/conf.d/net (with comments):


modules=("wpa_supplicant")
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext" # This, you need

#preferred_aps=( "WLAN1","WLAN2" ) Do not set this: wpa_supplicant chooses

Also, I have a handy little script which I will attach. It stops the net.wlan0
initscript, unloads the iwl module and reloads the module. The initscript
automatically restarts.

Looks like iwl3945-ucode firmware required only.

Thanks Jan, I got it working.

But during startup I get:

 *   Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 4 value 0x0 - ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported        [ ok ]th param 5 value 0x1 -

 *     Backgrounding ...

Looks like I just have to ignore it?

Ah, that's why I could not get network working after
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart...

Yeah, same here. But doesn't seem to be a problem.

Oh, and a technicality: Since I (and anyone else on this list) is probably
subscribed to the list, it should suffice to just send a mail to the list and
not send one to me and cc the list.
I was just a bit suprised when I got your mail in my inbox...

Hi,

Thank you, I modified my settings based on your config.
I still fail.

I configured my router as follows:

IAPP: Enabled
802.11g protection: Enabled

Encryption: WPA pre-shared key
WPA Unicast Cipher Suite: WPA(TKIP)
Pre-shared Key format: Passphrase
Pre-shared key: My very secret password

My wpa_supplicant is:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel

    pairwise=TKIP
    group=TKIP

}

network={
    key_mgmt=NONE
    priority=0
}


My net is:

I guess, I missed something trivial. For example I should use only wired lan :)

In fact this is key_mgmt, I corrected.

Anyway, with/without key_mgmt it seems it is not working...

I got this message:
 * Starting wlan0
 *   Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported

Maybe a restart needed ........

What does

Don't forget stop wpa_supplicant before and reload iwl module.

Hi,

I realized, some kernel modules were unloaded.
Maybe I only have to load all the required kernel modules, such as:

ieee80211.ko  
ieee80211_crypt.ko  
ieee80211_crypt_ccmp.ko  
ieee80211_crypt_tkip.ko  
ieee80211_crypt_wep.ko

Maybe rfkill and rfkill_input

I will try again this night :)

After Jan's helpful contribution I got my wifi working, and I don't have any 
of those modules loaded, nor are they compiled into the kernel. You may not 
have the right kernel setup. In particular, I think you want "Networking > 
Wireless > Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211)" in preference 
to the one without "mac80211" in it, which is older.

I assume you've selected the right wireless device driver, but in case it 
helps here's what I have: "Device Drivers > Network device support > 
Wireless LAN > Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11)" and (in the same menu) "Intel 
Wireless WiFi Link Drivers" and the 3945 module.

(I should perhaps say this is a Thinkpad T61 with the Intel 3945ABG 
chipset.)

Heartfelt thanks from me! Your config has got my wifi working; now I'll have 
to find out what difference in particular between yours and mine caused it 
to spring into life.

The key difference here is that you've defined variables for the SSID of the 
network link, where I would have used (was using) the interface to which 
that link is attached. /etc/conf.d/*.example don't make this clear at all.

It doesn't restart automatically here.

I submitted a bug report: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212383. 
The silence is deafening  :-)
