[gentoo-user] ipw3945 and wpa_supplicant issues

Hi all!

I own a Toshiba laptop P100-400 with a Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wireless
adapter.
I've managed to get it working with normal WEP authentication, but no
success with wpa_supplicant (and I really need it for WPA auth).

I also, but now with 2.6.20-r6 (2.6.19-r5 works also fine for me)

I use the same versions.

This is my configuration in net.

modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-D wext"
wpa_timeout_eth1=60
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth1="-t 5"


I don't know what "!plug" does.

my /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=1
network={
        ssid="xxxxxxxxx"
        psk="xxxxxxxx"
        priority=5
}



I use wpa-psk to make my wlan secure.

I hope I this can help you.

Check out /etc/conf.d/net.example, search for "plug", find the section
"Cable in/out detection".

Actually, Will you are a bit wrong. Restarting the ipw3945d service yields
the same results. Here's what happens when I restart the ipw3945 service:

Which is basically the same problem as what José posted about, except he
is restarting net.eth1.

Anyone know of a solution to fix this? (Aside from getting a different
wireless NIC)

Quite.  It sounds like maybe you need to insert a few more modules, or
maybe need wireless extensions enabled in the kernel?

I'm seeing the same issues with my network card as well. I have this
wireless adapter:

Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network
Connection (rev 02)

My adapter works fine on first boot, but should it crash (sometimes
ipw3945d crashes) and requires me to /etc/init.d/net.eth1 restart, it
never works. I'm forced to reboot.

It'd be great figure this out :)

Weird,  For me it just works :-

/etc/init.d/ipw394d restart

I do see the results you post on occassion - but the following gets 
things back on track:

/etc/init.d/net.eth1 stop
/etc/init.d/ipw3945d stop
killall wpa_supplicant
killall ipw3945d
modprobe -r ipw3945
modprobe ipw3945
