Thank you.
Now I can connect to my wireless but only when I issue

and then
dhcpcd wlan0.
which means that wpa_supplicant.conf is ok
If I issue /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 it connects to the other wireless network.
Here is my /etc/conf.d/net

I'm not sure how the init script will react to the nested quotes

If the fixed net config doesn't help, try disabling WPA on the access

Please don't top-post, it makes conversations difficult to follow and
impossible to quote meaningfully.
preferred_aps means that it will try that aps first, but if it fails, it
will then try dlink. You can force it to only use a specific aps with
essid_wlan0="baladei-wifi" but I susopect your problem is that the
connection to your preferred aps is failing and dlink being used as a
fallback.
The system log should show details of the connection process, try "tail
-f /var/log/messages" before you do "/etc/init.d/wlan0 start".

That way it will first try baladei-wifi, and only if that doesn't
work, dlink. Notice that 'baladei-wifi' and 'dlink' are in single
quotes. See /etc/conf.d/net.example for more details.

Thanks for the information. (It's actually "iwlwifi +ipw3945") I've had good luck with it with kernel 2.6.22 (so you don't need a chain of two external modules). It doesn't use a userspace daemon, so there's no problem with starting it up with a read-only root filesystem and there isn't the back-and-forth dependancy problem (ipw3945d requires the kernel driver to be loaded, and the kernel driver doesn't create any network interfaces until ipw3945d is running). The only tricky thing I've found about iwlwifi is that you get a "configuration" interface, which the persistant net rule for eth1 (or whatever) picks up and confuses everything. There's a "type" attribute you need to add to the udev rule to pick up the actual network interface. Somewhat unimportant: I think I need a kernel config option I haven't enabled to get the wifi led on my laptop to work with it, so I keep thinking my wifi is off when it's working. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Wireless problem
Hi,
I have the same wireless lan card and I have no problems with
my installation.
I am using gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r2 and activated the following
option in the kernel:
Networking --->

Wireless --->

The following package I have installed:

And ipw3945d is NOT started in any runlevel.
Few days ago, I had some problems while booting my system caused by udev.
After updating udev to version 114 the problems are gone.
So, I don't load the kernel module explizit and I do not start the daemon
automatically in one runlevel.
In my case, it seems to be done by udev.
I also have written a script to start/stop wireless lan manually.
I hope these information may help you.

[gentoo-user] Wireless problem
Hi everyone, I'm having a heck of a time trying to get wireless going on my laptop. I've tried so many things, I'm a bit dizzy and don't know where I've gone right or wrong. First things first. lspci shows my wireless hardware as: 0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) I've tried to follow this guide: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_ipw3945 When I get to the point where it tells me to do modprobe ipw3945, I get a message (and since I added ipw3945d to the default runlevel, I also get this same message on boot) about not being able to find: chown '/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw3945/00*/cmd' no such file or directory lsmod does not list the driver even though I emerged it and added it to the /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file I tried doing a google on the above error message and one of the hits indicated that the person had the same problem, but at least had the ipw3945 directory in /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ I don't even have that. I have no idea what is going on here, so any help would be appreciated. And since I'm not really strong in networking, please lead me by the nose.

Hi Marco,
I hope someone will help you better, I just can say I solved my own wifi
problems with wpa_supplicant (wpa encryption) by commenting out one line
of the recommended config and trying, then commenting out another one,
retrying, and so on, until I had it working...
good luck!

[gentoo-user] wireless problem
Hello all,
Using a Dell latitude x1, dual-boot with w$ xp; on my campus they have a
wireless network which I can access with my mail login and password. It
works without a problem on w$.
On my gentoo I installed wpa_supplicant with the following item in
the conf file:
network={
ssid="Universite Paul Cezanne"
identity="mylogin"
password="mypassword"
priority=5
}
Here mylogin and password are also (of course) what I enter to access the
network when on w$.
When I type "iwconfig" I obtain this:
eth1 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"Universite Paul Cezanne"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:12:DA:AE:5A:50
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=91/100 Signal level=-37 dBm Noise level=-80 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:5350 Missed beacon:0
Seems to indicate I am actually connected?
But then I can't access the network (firefox doesn't find anything).
Maybe it the identity/password which is not correct?
Thanks for any help,
--
Jean
