[Bug 225604] New: ipw3945 won't connect
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225604 Summary: ipw3945 won't connect Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: fred.blaise@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Just got a Lenovo T60 with an intel wifi card 3945. The card seems well detected and all components needed to run the card are loaded. This is a fresh RC1 install. However, upon bootup, the wifi link is not active and NM does not see the card. The little wifi led is off. I have to modprobe -r ipw3945 and modprobe ipw3945 to have it seen by NM, and the wifi led is then on too. It then prompts me for the WEP key, and tries to connect, but fails. I tried with both Shared and Open mode. I couldn't make it work with the traditional method either. Attached the relevant logs. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I am on GM now, and pretty much the same behavior occurs. I still have to modprobe -r and modprobe again on the ipw3945 module. On my other laptop (using madwifi with atheros chipset), I have the exact same config for NM (on GM as well). Works fine. a ps reveals that wpa_supplicant is running once I input the key. Here, I input the key, it says, after stage 2 is complete: Activation (eth1/wireless): disconnected during association, asking for new key. eth1: link timed out eth1: link timed out etc...

On boot, if I was succesfully connected to my network (with WPA PSK) then it connects. If not, it doesn't. If I am connected and I try to reconnect, it keeps asking me for the password but never gets past stage 2 of the connection process. This works fine under ifup. The only thing that works is modprobe -r ipw3945; modprobe ipw3945 I have attached my Network Manager and message logs while I did the following: - boot (without prev successful connection, and with no key stored in the keyring manager) (FAILED) - login and try to connect (FAILED) - click connect to other wireless network (SUCCEEDED) - click on the network to reconnect (FAILED) - delete key and click connect to other wireless network (FAILED) - delete key and click connect to other wireless network (FAILED) - reload ipw3945 module with modprobe - click connect to other network (SUCCEEDED) Not in the logs, but reloading ipw3945 and clicking on the network also succeeds. Also, there is an error from dhcpd about not understanding the lease time - I changed that on my router and it didn't affect anything Occassionally, I also get these errors in my log: getafix kernel: CCMP: decrypt failed: STA=00:12:a9:cb:66:40 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

but it works without problem with iflpugd. No reload of the module required. So it might not be NetworkManager itself, but something in the process it uses that differs from ifplugd. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Tambet? The reason why this this changed with 10.2 is most probably that on 10.1, ipw2200 was unloaded by default on suspend. This in not the case for 10.2 anymore.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225604 ------- Comment #19 from swesemeyer@hotmail.com 2007-01-10 14:43 MST ------- I'm having similar issues with my ipw3945 network card. Sometimes it connects fine, other times I spent several reboots, modprobes, using Yast to change the method of bringing the card up manually with ifup, to ifplugd, to NetworkManager and back to manual before I get a connection. iwlist eth1 scanning always sees my AP (801.11b network with WEP encryption) but when using ifup the dhcp client does not seem to be able to get an IP address. I don't suspend this laptop at all but always shut it down properly but it does not connect reliably. Having said that when using NetworkManager, it connects usually without any problems to my neighbour's network which is a 801.11g network and not protected at all. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

OK - I installed the new ipw3945 packages and rebooted. The issue is exactly the same as before, in order to reconnect to a network, I need to modprobe -r and then modprobe the driver again. Full log attached. Also, I compiled my own ieee80211 driver (version 1.2.15) - before I did this, I still had the above problem, but when my network did connect, it would drop after any heavy use. i have since tried installing ieee80211 version 1.2.16, but it complains during compilation, and I don't have enough experience to figure out what is wrong with it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
