[opensuse-factory] [Tumbleweed] Wireless Issues on an atheros card
Hi I have a atheros card.. with the following configuration ( on tumbleweed) Hardware Class: network Model: "Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)" Vendor: pci 0x168c "Atheros Communications Inc." Device: pci 0x002b "AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)" SubVendor: pci 0x17aa "Lenovo" SubDevice: pci 0x30a1 Revision: 0x01 Driver: "ath9k" Driver Modules: "ath9k" Device File: wlan0 Features: WLAN I am unable to conenct the internet through it. I have tried the following approaches One is the GNOME 3.0 Network Manager I see wireless as an option but no networks are shown. One of the solutions that I tried was rfkill This was the output rfkill list all 0: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 2: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 3: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no Now, I also looked up the command line solution The result is as follows ifconfig wlan0 up iwlist wlan0 scan Cell 01 - Address: 00:15:70:C9:E2:40 Channel:1 Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1) Quality=42/70 Signal level=-68 dBm Encryption keyff ESSID:"ION@Manipal-Indoor" Bit Rates:12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s 54 Mb/s Mode:Master Extra:tsf=00000002c5d0f15e Extra: Last beacon: 780ms ago IE: Unknown: 0012494F4E404D616E6970616C2D496E646F6F72 IE: Unknown: 0106182430C8E0EC IE: Unknown: 030101 IE: Unknown: 0706494E20010D24 IE: Unknown: 0B050C00A43D09 IE: Unknown: 2A0104 IE: Unknown: AD0F00A0F80C0090006801000000000000 Cell 02 - Address: 00:15:70:C1:0D:C0 Channel:6 Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6) Quality=40/70 Signal level=-70 dBm Encryption keyff ESSID:"ION@Manipal-Indoor2" Bit Rates:12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s 54 Mb/s Mode:Master Extra:tsf=00000002c668b26c Extra: Last beacon: 560ms ago IE: Unknown: 0013494F4E404D616E6970616C2D496E646F6F7232 IE: Unknown: 0106182430C8E0EC IE: Unknown: 030106 IE: Unknown: 0706494E20010D24 IE: Unknown: 0B050900A43D09 IE: Unknown: 2A0104 IE: Unknown: AD0F00A0F809005900F300000000000000 iwconfig wlan0 essid NETWORK_ID key off dhclient wlan0 But I am still unable to connect to the wireless.

I am unable to conenct the internet through it.

One of the solutions that I tried was rfkill This was the output rfkill list all 0: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 2: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 3: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no
Now, I also looked up the command line solution The result is as follows ifconfig wlan0 up iwlist wlan0 scan Cell 01 - Address: 00:15:70:C9:E2:40 Channel:1 Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1) Quality=42/70 Signal level=-68 dBm Encryption keyff ESSID:"ION@Manipal-Indoor" Bit Rates:12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s 54 Mb/s Mode:Master Extra:tsf=00000002c5d0f15e Extra: Last beacon: 780ms ago IE: Unknown: 0012494F4E404D616E6970616C2D496E646F6F72 IE: Unknown: 0106182430C8E0EC IE: Unknown: 030101 IE: Unknown: 0706494E20010D24 IE: Unknown: 0B050C00A43D09 IE: Unknown: 2A0104 IE: Unknown: AD0F00A0F80C0090006801000000000000 Cell 02 - Address: 00:15:70:C1:0D:C0 Channel:6 Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6) Quality=40/70 Signal level=-70 dBm Encryption keyff ESSID:"ION@Manipal-Indoor2" Bit Rates:12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s 54 Mb/s Mode:Master Extra:tsf=00000002c668b26c Extra: Last beacon: 560ms ago IE: Unknown: 0013494F4E404D616E6970616C2D496E646F6F7232 IE: Unknown: 0106182430C8E0EC IE: Unknown: 030106 IE: Unknown: 0706494E20010D24 IE: Unknown: 0B050900A43D09 IE: Unknown: 2A0104 IE: Unknown: AD0F00A0F809005900F300000000000000 iwconfig wlan0 essid NETWORK_ID key off dhclient wlan0
But I am still unable to connect to the wireless. Any ideas?
My experiences with the Gnome applet are minimal, but I'll try. As you get scan data, most things are working. With NetworkManager, do you see any networks after you do the manual iwlist scans? Also, with NM, what is in /var/log/NetworkManager? When not using NM, you should configure the wireless with YaST, or by manually setting up /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0. An unencrypted network should be easy. Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
seemed like an udev issue to me on a bit further investigating.. I
dont know how but all the udev scritps were messed up and hence
hotplug was not working fot the atheros card.
