You can check `apt-cache search udev` if you can find the -dev package.
and put that name in debian/control of the nm's source instead of
libudev-dev.
You can also try to run `dpkg-buildpackage -d` which ignores missing
dependancies; but the build may fail.

Anyway, I'm just installing 64studio 3b3 on qemu; and I'll see if I can
do a backport . It may take some time however..

2009-10-01 Thread Robin Gareus
Hi Jonathan,

Since iwconfig, and iwlist work, this really looks like a bug with
network-manager.

64studio is based on Ubuntu Hardy, which is why you get version 0.6.6.

I've filed a ticket to backport nm-0.7.1 to 64studio
( http://trac.64studio.com/64studio/ticket/515 ) but it would be great
to know if that will solve the problem before we start backporting.

Could you try to compile and test it on your machine?

Try sth. like this:
-8<
sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot
sudo apt-get build-dep network-manager
cd /tmp
wget http://rg42.org/_media/wiki/nm-0.7.1-debian.tgz
tar xvzf nm-0.7.1-debian.tgz
cd network-manager-0.7.1/
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i network-manager*deb
-8<

The nm-0.7.1 on my server is taken from debian/squeeze. There may be
some version-conflicts in the build-dependacies.. if you run into
problems, be creative or get back to us..

I have not tried 64studio 3b3 yet, but on recent debian it's called
/etc/init.d/network-manager

Anyways `sudo killall NetworkManager` will have the same result.

I don't think this is a kernel issue.
If you succeed configuring it "by hand" as outlined by Gustin below with
`iwconfig` it is a network-manager problem, not a kernel/driver issue.

Maybe it's even simpler: try hitting the WiFi-en/disable button
(Fn+F5?!) or flick the Wifi kill-switch ;)

On 64studio "linux-rt" is only a 'dummy package' that installs the
"latest stable kernel", which is linux-2.6.29-1-multimedia-686.

If you have a mixed installation with Ubunutu repositories: Ubunutu also
provides a package named "linux-rt", which is actually
linux-rt_2.6.28.3.1_i386.deb

It seems likely that you have a mixed system, which would also explain
the NetworkManager vs. network-manager naming difference.

Maybe that's the whole issue: Are you mixing different versions of the
network-manager-applet and the network-manager service:

what does
  dpkg-query -l network-manager-gnome
and
  pkg-query -l network-manager
say? Are they the same version? (0.7.1)

Does `nm-tool` detect wlan0 as "Type: 802.11 WiFi" ?

Can you detect WiFi-networks by running `sudo iwlist wlan0 scan` ?

Anyways. the at5k should be detected as ath0 not wlan0.

Is this a new install of 64studio, or did you upgrade from a previous
System? It could be due to some relic udev rule: Do you have a file
  /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
(`ls /etc/udev/rules.d/*net*` , the name may be slightly different),
there might be a clue in there.

There's plenty of reasons why things could not work as expected; maybe
you once used /etc/iftab with `ifrename` or set up mii-tools.. - or
maybe the device is simply defect..

Anyways the issue of Network-manager detecting a WiFi interfaces as
"wired" is unprecedented to my knowledge.

If the iwconfig steps below work, you can be pragmatic and use
wpa_supplicant and wpagui to /work around/ network-manager.

ath5k /should/ work for the AR5212/AR5213 chipset.

Why not? Since most AP ship with password enabled by default, there's
too few Free-WiFi access points in this world!!
The security involved in that technology is not secure anyway. Just
leave it open, share with your neighbors and use SSL when appropriate.

That won't work. "echo" is executed as root (due to sudo) bit the ">>"

2009-09-29 Thread Jonathan E. Brickman




Well, Gustin, I'm not sure what distro you're advising me on, but it's
not 64studio 3b3 :-)  There is no /etc/init.d/NetworkManager at all.  I
did try disabling the new module as you suggested, but now the wifi
hardware isn't seen in Network Manager at all.

Perhaps I'm using the wrong kernel?  The linux-rt package was
automatically removed by Synaptic during my first general update, and I
am running linux-2.6.29-1-multimedia-686.  Should I put the linux-rt
package back in, going backwards as needed?  Or how about that new
2.6.31 rt kernel I keep hearing about?

J.E.B.

  It looks like the newer ath5 driver is being used.

Try this:
Temporarily change your AP to not require security (for testing only,
you do not want this long term).

sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManger stop
sudo ifdown wlan0
sudo ip link set wlan0 up
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid 

Now we need to check to see if the wifi device has actually connected to
the AP.
sudo iwconfig

You should see something like this:

wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn  ESSID:"myessid"
Mode:Managed  Frequency:5.18 GHz  Access Point: 00:0B:6B:86:EB:AF
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s   Tx-Power=14 dBm
Retry min limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr=2352 B

Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

Of course your Frequency and link quality will differ (in this example,
my machine is connected to an 802.11a AP in the 5Ghz spectrum, and is on
the desk next to the AP).

If the Mac address after the "Access Point" matches your AP's wireless
interface, we need to configure IPv4.

Automatic method:
Check to see if a dhcp client is running:
ps axf | grep dhclient

If you do not see one, then start one:
sudo dhclient wlan0

Manual method:
sudo ip addr add 192.168.0.20/24 dev wlan0
sudo ip route add default via 192.168.0.1

You will also need to configure a DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf

Failing the above, we can disable the new ath5k driver to see if there
is some weirdness with the newer driver:

sudo echo "ath5k" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

Reboot and report.  To reverse these changes simply remove ath5k from
the end of the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file.

I have far more experience with the older ath_pci driver as I build my
own APs (for fun and for profit) and the ath5k driver has issues acting
as an AP.

The standard source and binary repos do not have wifi-tools of the
needed version.  I tried lots of things using apt-get; here is the
Synaptic synopsis:

madwifi-modules-2.6.29-1-multimedia-686:
  Depends: madwifi-tools (>=1:0.9.4~rc2+dfsg-1) but 1:0.9.3+dfsg-3
is to be installed
  

What is the next step?

J.E.B.

Hi,
  
You can always install madwifi-tools from source.
  
You will need the kernel headers and various -dev packages to compile
though.

  Not sure if this is a red herring... I think this is the same behaviour
I got when I installed 3.0b3 (and 2.1 for that matter) before I
installed the driver firmware for my chipset (iwl3945 in my case). After
installing on the wire and restarting it was recognised correctly.

Hi,
  
Your ifconfig  says it is a wlan0 device so it's quite strange that
gnome says it is a wired 802.1x wired network.
  
What messages do you get if you attempt to connect?
  
  
Cheers.

Can you be more specific?  I have no idea what "detected as a wired" means.

Re: [64studio-devel] 3b3 wifi issue: AR5212/AR5213 detected as wire

2009-09-28 Thread poame
Not sure if this is a red herring... I think this is the same behaviour
I got when I installed 3.0b3 (and 2.1 for that matter) before I
installed the driver firmware for my chipset (iwl3945 in my case). After
installing on the wire and restarting it was recognised correctly.
