[opensuse] iwl3945 & wpa_supplicant broken in openSUSE 11
I have this wireless card: 0b:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) and when I booted up I had *no* wireless at all, I first had to remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules so that it would rename the card properly. (see this bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=354141 ) then I had to install iwl3945-ucode (this needs to be a required dependency for iwl3945) (see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=372878 ) which fixed me not being able to bring the device up.. now I have the issue where its up and can see the wireless networks via 'iwlist scanning' but NetworkManager does not see them. I can connect to a wireless network as long as its insecure.. It has an issue with connection to secured networks (i'm guessing wpa_supplicant is broken). (see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=372878 ) are these bugs being worked out? I'd really like to stay in 11 and do more testing but wireless is required ( I can live with buggy apps, but I need the Internet =)) Here is some basic hardware information: 61: None 00.0: 10780 Network Interface [Created at net.124] Unique ID: agy+.GSopYcFr9cF Parent ID: y9sn.wMU5p8B6686 SysFS ID: /class/net/wmaster0 SysFS Device Link: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.0/0000:0b:00.0 Hardware Class: network interface Model: "Network Interface" Driver: "iwl3945" Driver Modules: "iwl3945" Device File: wmaster0 HW Address: 00:13:02:a6:53:8a Link detected: yes Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #17 (WLAN controller) inspidell:~ # lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub (rev 03) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 01) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 4 (rev 01) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 01) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 01) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 01) 00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 01) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 01) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev e1) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 01) 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) SATA IDE Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 01) 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02) 03:01.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C832 IEEE 1394 Controller 03:01.1 SD Host controller: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter (rev 19) 03:01.2 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host Adapter (rev 0a) 03:01.3 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev 05) 0b:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) inspidell:~ # dmesg |grep 3945 iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux, 1.2.23ks iwl3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2007 Intel Corporation iwl3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection iwl3945: Tunable channels: 11 802.11bg, 13 802.11a channels phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'iwl-3945-rs' inspidell:~ # lsmod |grep 802 mac80211 190228 1 iwl3945 cfg80211 35720 1 mac80211 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

John, I have atheros and wpa is working fine with madwifi. Question, does the intel wireless make use of /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ? If so, have you made use of wpa_passphrase to create a network block in the config file? It would look something like this: 02:16 Rankin-P35a~> cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf update_config=1 #run directory (can set group as well) ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant #set to 1 if frames dropped eapol_version=2 # default 1 (0,1,2) ap_scan=2 network={ # disabled=0 id_str="skyline" ssid="skyline" # mode=0 priority=4 key_mgmt=WPA-PSK auth_alg=OPEN pairwise=TKIP group=TKIP proto=WPA proto=RSN psk=**YOUR PASSPHRASE YOU GENERATED HERE ** } Note: this is from 10.3... -- David C.
