Bugzilla Bug 161047

Hi,

Portage downgraded ieee80211 and ipw2934 and upgraded ipw3945d this morning.
After my daily morning emerge today, my wireless extensions have crapped out
and no longer works. I did nothing out of the ordinary except my daily sync and
upgrade (or downgrades) of packages.

Either the downgrade from ieee80211-1.2.15 to ieee80211-1.1.13-r1 OR the
upgrade from ipw3945d-1.7.22-r3 to ipw3945d-1.7.22-r4has completely disabled my
wireless because even if I attempt to resort to my state before the emerge this
morning, I am locked into the current version of ipw3945.

Known working packages before emerge today:
ieee80211-1.2.15
ipw3945d-1.7.22-r3
ipw3945-1.1.3

Packages after emerge today:
ieee80211-1.1.13-r1
ipw3945d-1.7.18

Only of curiosity, why the downgrade?

Reproducible: Always

built as modules.

blah!

Same thing here! My working setup a few days ago was:

ieee80211-1.2.15
ipw3945d-1.7.22-r4
ipw3945-1.1.3

Now ipw3945d the init script DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.
No matter how i run ipw3945d, it always shows:
ERROR: Could not find Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection

BUT: "rmmod ipw3945 && modprobe ipw3945" would light up the wireless.

I'll take my chances with running ipw3945-1.1.3. I unmasked it (since it's hard
masked) and surprisingly, everything works..

What is the issue with ipw3945-1.1.3 that requires a downgrade? Changelog
doesn't mention anything. Am I missing some information somewhere?

Also, what is it with ipw3945-1.1.3-r2 requiring the in-kernel ieee80211
drivers to be used? I don't like relying on kernel patches for support of
certain drivers, namely my wireless devices.

Jakub these are *not* the same issue. This reports a _compilation error_ while
emerging ipw3945.

This is not a duplicate bug. This ebuild fails to compile completely.

Well, then don't mix several completely unrelated issues into one bug.

Jakub, please stop searching so hard for bugs to pin this as a dupe on. This
-is- a bug (possibly the same as the second dupe you pointed to, on a different
version of a package, but that doesn't justify the way you're treating this).
The least you could do is ask us to verify that it is the same bug before
closing it.

Mixing several unrelated issues? I see only one issue. A broken ebuild. If it's
a dupe, it's a dupe. But please, this report is one issue.

From the duped to bug...

As Jakub points out, the same patch is required for ipw3945-1.1.0 as well. I
have tried this and it works (I just used the existing 1.0.5 patch).

I confirm that the patch allows compile of ipw3945-1.1.0 with 2.6.19
(suspend2-sources FWIW).  This stops ipw3945d hanging and other issues that
have come up since the downgrade.  Still battling to actually get wireless
connectivity though.

+1 that this bug is not FIXED.  From a copious amount of messing around
methinks that ipw3945-1.1.0 and kernel 2.6.19 are not compatible.

I've been caught up in the latest rounds of upgrades and downgrades of ipw3945
and ipw3945d, with an upgrade from kernel 2.6.18 to 2.6.19 in the midst of it. 
I have gone from a working wireless to a broken one.

The most up-to-date not-masked unstable currently are
net-wireless/ipw3945-1.1.0-r1
net-wireless/ieee80211-1.1.13-r1
net-wireless/ipw3945d-1.7.22-r4

With 2.6.19 as /usr/src/linux target, ipw3945-1.1.0-r1 does not compile.  If
you apply the workaround patch put forward in
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157076 then you get a loadable module,
but ipw3945d does not find connectivity when booting with a 2.6.19 kernel. All
the rmmod-modprobe tricks don't work either. Boot to a 2.6.18 kernel and all
works well.

Can we either fix ipw3945-1.1.0 (a bit silly seeing as it's quite an old
version now), or get the ipw3945-1.1.0 ebuild to fail nicely when built with a
2.6.19 /usr/src/linux target?

Keeping ipw3945-1.1.0 users on 2.6.18 kernels would solve a lot of the ipw3945
problems running around at the moment - and perhaps hasten the push for
ipw3945-1.1.3 (or even 1.2.1) to come out of mask.
