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.

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?

I'll look at all that again soon

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.

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.

Thank you for the quick reply.
I made what you said and now it still connects to dlink but I'll read the wireless.example.
Have a nice day.

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".

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"
preferred_aps_wlan0="'baladei-wifi' 'dlink'"
assciate_order_wlan0="forcepreferedonly"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf"
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".

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you Neil.
I'll buy a beer. This was it.
modules_wlan0=( "wpa_supplicant" "iwconfig" ) is correct

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

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

Unfortunately this card doesn't accept that command:

Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) :

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.
Luigi

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.
