When discussing this with one of the developers of the connman application via mailing list one remark was the driver might not be fully supported by kernel. I have used this device to connect/sync/use Gentoo since early last year. It is said if 'iw wlan0 scan' works properly your card is supported. random david # iw wlan0 scan BSS 00:1c:10:9c:32:87 (on wlan0) -- associated TSF: 976537958787 usec (11d, 07:15:37) freq: 2437 beacon interval: 50 capability: ESS Privacy ShortSlotTime (0x0411) signal: 20351.00 dBm last seen: 76 ms ago Information elements from Probe Response frame: SSID: Davespace Supported rates: 1.0* 2.0* 5.5* 11.0* 18.0 24.0 36.0 54.0 DS Parameter set: channel 6 ERP: Barker_Preamble_Mode RSN: * Version: 1 * Group cipher: TKIP * Pairwise ciphers: CCMP TKIP * Authentication suites: PSK * Capabilities: (0x0000) Extended supported rates: 6.0 9.0 12.0 48.0 WPA: * Version: 1 * Group cipher: TKIP * Pairwise ciphers: CCMP TKIP * Authentication suites: PSK * Capabilities: (0x0000) BSS c0:3f:0e:1e:78:64 (on wlan0) TSF: 1300691251601 usec (15d, 01:18:11) freq: 2462 beacon interval: 100 capability: ESS Privacy ShortSlotTime (0x0411) signal: 20351.00 dBm last seen: 50 ms ago SSID: NormaK Supported rates: 1.0* 2.0* 5.5 11.0 18.0 24.0 36.0 54.0 DS Parameter set: channel 11 TIM: DTIM Count 2 DTIM Period 3 Bitmap Control 0x0 Bitmap[0] 0x0 ERP: <no flags> RSN: * Version: 1 * Group cipher: TKIP * Pairwise ciphers: CCMP TKIP * Authentication suites: PSK * Capabilities: 16-PTKSA-RC (0x000c) Extended supported rates: 6.0 9.0 12.0 48.0 WPS: * Version: 1.0 * Wi-Fi Protected Setup State: 2 (Configured) WPA: * Version: 1 * Group cipher: TKIP * Pairwise ciphers: CCMP TKIP * Authentication suites: PSK * Capabilities: 16-PTKSA-RC (0x000c) WMM: * Parameter version 1 * u-APSD * BE: CW 15-1023, AIFSN 3 * BK: CW 15-1023, AIFSN 7 * VI: CW 7-15, AIFSN 2, TXOP 3008 usec * VO: CW 3-7, AIFSN 2, TXOP 1504 usec I am also using this setup with another system and wireless-tools nor networkmanager would work with them. it is a 32 bit stable P3 with usb 1.0 only and running a Netgear WNA1100 As currently stated in the wireless setup of Gentoo's Handbook I could get neither of the cards to work with a current kernel. Just a bump though I know a lot of work is going on here. ;-) Looks like networkmanager-0.9.6.0 doesn't depend on it networkmanager-0.9.4.0-r7 is stable and doesn't depend on wireless-tools either. closing, please reopen if I'm missing something obvious |
