I had this same problem with the ath5k driver (still do, I bet)
on my Thinkpad x61s. What happens if you run "sudo rfkill list"
after you resume from suspend? Does it show that the wireless is
"hard blocked"?
In my case, it was, so I tried something stupid. I patched my kernel
to answer "no" to the question "is rfkill enabled?"... and it worked!

Maybe you can do the same thing for your driver, if rfkill is actually the
issue.

[gentoo-user] Wlan disappeared after suspend
Hi, after suspend, my wlan is dead and it cannot be restarted. I searched Google for the problem and I found a solution that might work, I thought. But it doesn't. I added a line to /etc/pm/config.d/gentoo: SUSPEND_MODULES="r8188eu" Then, I recompiled the kernel to load r8188eu as a module. It didn't help. After the suspend, when I say lsmod, the module is still there. Maybe this is the source of the problem. What do I have to try? Thanks in advance.

[gentoo-user] WLAN with fixed IP
Hi, I'd like to assign fixed IP numbers to computers of a local network. Using dhcp as in modules=wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant_wlan0=-Dwext -iwlan0 config_wlan0=dhcp works just fine but depends on dhcp for IP assignment. The following does not work, i.e. the network is not working modules=wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant_wlan0=-Dwext -iwlan0 config_wlan0=192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.1.255 routes_wlan0=default via 192.168.1.1 dns_servers_wlan0=192.168.1. What am I missing. What does the dhcp option imply? Are there any additional necessary initialization (like an ifup) ? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut.

This is what your /etc/dhcp/dhcp.conf would look like on the router, or how it
should be configured wherever DHCP is handed out:
authoritative;
ddns-update-style none;
default-lease-time 1800;
max-lease-time 1800;
subnet 192.168.54.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.54.10 192.168.54.50;
option broadcast-address 192.168.54.255;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.54.1;
option routers 192.168.54.1;
}
subnet 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.100.10 192.168.100.50;
option broadcast-address 192.168.100.255;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.100.1;
option routers 192.168.100.1;
}
host server {
hardware ethernet 00:d0:68:0b:87:66;
fixed-address 192.168.100.3;
}
You of course need to adjust for your network(s). And I'd install dhcpcd and
put it in the default runlevel.
Then on the client you have /etc/conf.d/net like this:
modules_wlan0=wpa_supplicant
wpa_supplicant_wlan0=-Dwext
config_wlan0=dhcp
if you're using wpa_supplicant (you mentioned wpa_cli).
And your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf would look like:
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
#ap_scan=0
#update_config=1
network={
ssid=YourSSID
psk=your-secret-key
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA2
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
group=CCMP TKIP
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
priority=5
}
If you just want to setup a static IP per machine, /etc/conf.d/net:
config_wlan0=192.168.1.2/24
routes_wlan0=default via 192.168.1.1
Hope this helps. If it's too confusing, might mention where DHCP is handed
out, and some more about your LAN.

[gentoo-user] WLAN performance
Hi list! Can anyone tell me how I could find the bottleneck on my wireless network? According to iwconfig, both cards are cofigured for 54 MBit/s but I only get about 13 MBit/s, both on NFS and scp. Might it be the driver (iwl3945, rt61 from kernel 2.6.24)? Unfortunately, iwspy doesn't work on these cards. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: [gentoo-user] WLAN performance
ahh, marketing. Some people will believe anything! Check the table at http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/wireless/2003/08/08/wireless_throughput.html or numerous other guides courtesy of google. This shows that maximum throughput is roughly 27Mb/s for 54g, but in my experience its much less in the real world. Note that configuring a card for 54mb/s is the maximum - unless you are quite close (distance wise), have little interference and dont have a busy 802.11b on the same AP, you are not even going to see a 54, but a fallback. And I think encryption will clip it even further if you are using that (as you should be!) BillK On Fri, 2008-03-21 at 11:33 +0100, Florian Philipp wrote: Hi list!

As BillK remarks, 50% of your 54 Mbit is consumed by protocol overhead. You're probably going to tell us that the two machines are currently right next to each other, so losing an additional 50% to interference other intangibles might seem at first sight unreasonable, but I doubt you'll ever do any better than that, and you could waste a lot of time trying. Wireless is for surfing on the sofa - you can easily get eighty times this throughput with a cable, so investing time energy in trying to get a two-times performance increase is a poor return.

You will find some useful informaton and links here: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html As I understand it a good WLAN device driver will associate and re-associate with the next available device when it comes into range. Some drivers are not that good at re-associating. In that case you may have to modprobe -r and then reload the driver, or unplug/replug the WiFi device if it is a USB/cardbus. If you engage in the noble sport of aheam wardriving then you will need to use a good device that has well developed drivers in Linux. I am not aware of a daemon that performs this function in parallel to the WiFi device driver, sort of a ifplugd for wireless, but others may know better. -- Regards, Mick pgpQLLB7SYHNk.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] WLAN
Hello! I have recently subscribed to this mailing list so if someone has already asked this question I apologize in advance. I installed yesterday Gentoo 2006.0 with LiveCD on my laptop hp nx9105 and I'm looking how to setup my wireless card. I know that their aren't WLAN card drivers for Linux but I know that I can use my Windows XP drivers with ndiswrapper package, so my question is what is the procedure to setup my WLAN card.
