Hi, I have a weird - and rather embarrassing - problem after returning home from a trip. My laptop's wireless card can't connect to the wireless router (D-Link DIR-615) anymore. I am fairly certain that no configuration has changed.
Fedora 14 on an X200 ThinkPad with Intel iwl5100AGN card. Firmware installed, kernel 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.x86_64, # lsmod | grep iwlagn iwlagn 209445 0 iwlcore 195698 1 iwlagn mac80211 229063 2 iwlagn,iwlcore cfg80211 134981 3 iwlagn,iwlcore,mac80211 (tried to reload iwlagn multiple times). Restarting the network yields: Bringing up interface wlan0: Determining IP information for wlan0... failed; no link present. Check cable? (a fun message IMHO). In /var/log/messages I see kernel: [ 2355.907603] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready Things I've tried (beyond fruitless googling, of course - no "forums" have useful info of any kind): 1. disabling wireless security 2. making sure the device is not under NetworkManager control (switched on and off, uninstalled NM and reinstalled again) - NM is not to blame 3. restarting everything multiple times (and checking BIOS settings) 4. making sure another wireless device (phone) connects to the same router without a problem 5. making sure that wpa_supplicant does not run 6. Ethernet works fine so it is not a general networking issue 7. tried connecting with WiFiRadar, wlassistant - to no avail None of the above makes any difference. Has anyone encountered anything similar? Any suggestions for things I should try? For completeness here is ifcfg-wlan0 (asterisks mask irrelevant identifying info): TYPE=Wireless DEVICE=wlan0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes USERCTL=yes IPV6INIT=no NM_CONTROLLED=no MODE=Managed RATE=auto HWADDR=**:**:**:**:**:** KEY_MGMT=WPA-PSK DEFROUTE=yes PEERDNS=yes PEERROUTES=yes DHCP_HOSTNAME=****** IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes NAME="wlan0" ESSID= CHANNEL= I played with NM_CONTROLLED, KEY_MGMT (disabled security), and ESSID (setting to specific value).
