Subject: [gentoo-user] iwl5000 firmware fails to load
Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2010 01:46:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=MZbzyxeLs=uKDbLUhWauNgt6+2Pq-V9083pY2@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Folks,
I am having a fairly strange problem with my iwl5000 and the microcode.
After a fresh install Gentoo install wireless works with no issues.
Upon installing a set that includes xorg, Firefox, hal, VirtualBox,
etc. the wireless ceases to work. Check out a snippet from my dmesg:
~ % dmesg | grep -i iwl
iwlagn: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux, in-tree:d
iwlagn: Copyright(c) 2003-2010 Intel Corporation
iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: Detected Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN, REV=0x54
iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: Tunable channels: 13 802.11bg, 24 802.11a channels
iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode' failed.
iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode' failed.
iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: no suitable firmware found!
iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
Re-emerging the microcode, wpa_supplicant, wireless-tools, etc.
doesn't seem to do anything. The wireless still doesn't work. These
files *do* exist where they belong (/lib/firmware).
Once I emerge the set (below), a reload then results in the error(s) above.
Google didn't reveal much. Any thoughts / ideas on how to troubleshoot
this would be appreciated.
Thanks!
