[Bug 631283] New: ndiswrapper seems not to work with nl80211 ('nl80211' generic netlink not found)
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=631283 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=631283#c0 Summary: ndiswrapper seems not to work with nl80211 ('nl80211' generic netlink not found) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: manfred99@gmx.ch QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; de) Presto/2.6.30 Version/10.60 I tried to make my Netgear WG511v2 adapter to make work, it worked flawlessly using ndiswrapper with openSuse11.2. With openSuse11.3, I get: wlan0 device: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03) wlan0 starting wpa_supplicant nl80211: 'nl80211' generic netlink not found Failed to initialize driver interface Starting DHCP4+DHCP6 client on wlan0. . . . . . . . wlan0 DHCP4 continues in background wlan0 DHCP6 continues in background So I changed /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-wireless:720 into ndiswrapper) WPA_DRIVER=nl80211,wext ;; *.sys) WPA_DRIVER=nl80211 As I don't know if there are adapter that work with ndiswrapper and nl80211, or if there are ndiswrapper variants with working nl80211, I went for the safe variant to try both nl80211 and wext. It works OK, on "ifup wlan0" I get now: wlan0 device: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03) wlan0 starting wpa_supplicant nl80211: 'nl80211' generic netlink not found ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument Starting DHCP4+DHCP6 client on wlan0. . . . . . . . wlan0 IP address: 192.168.0.198/24 wlan0 DHCP6 continues in background And I have a working network connection.

BTW: I found http://lwn.net/Articles/275719/, but it seems not to be in the kernel (perhaps a case for Greg's staging project?).
Once the driver is accepted by the wireless-testing and tested it will come to the plain vanilla and this way also to our kernel.
BTW2: I tried https://bugzillafiles.novell.org/attachment.cgi?id=383070, works for me.
If the wext fallback is working I'd like to close this issue as FIXED, but if there are any other problems, reopen. -- 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.

The automatic mapping to wext is fixed I mean... BTW: You can change to use BOOTPROTO=dhcp4 in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifup-wlan0 when you don't have a DHCPv6 server in your network... It will avoid the start of dhcp6 client ("wlan0 DHCP6 continues in background")... -- 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.
